During her stay she gets to see how Pokémon are integrated into every aspect of daily life, as they help the grandparents clean, knit and even warm the house. While the short features a wide variety of Pokémon from different generations, including an Eevee and a Darumaka, the story centers on the girl's attempts to befriend the house's Slugma, who finds a way to show its appreciation for the girl despite not being able to get near her due to its magma-hot body.

Two Pokémon games were released for the Nintendo Switch this year, the first being the photography based New Pokémon Snap, and the second is Nintendo's attempt at breaking into the competitive MOBA genre, Pokémon Unite. Netflix will stream the next season of the Pokémon anime this fall, and is also developing a live-action TV series based on the games.
