"Pokémon GO" and Starbucks recent partnership excites fans of the game since it might also mark the release of "Pokémon GO" Gen 2 or new characters. Aside from that, players could also order an especially made frappe for the gamers.
A few weeks ago, a Reddit user who claims to work in Starbucks leaked a promotion page that is exclusive for employees. It reveals details of the collaboration that will start on Dec. 8.
According to the promotion, Starbucks locations will be turned into Poke Stops or Gyms. With this, "Pokémon GO" players can spend more time in Starbucks while enjoying a drink. A line in the leaked memo says, “The world of 'Pokémon GO' is about to expand with NEW Pokémon and a new Starbucks beverage.”
This sparks speculations about the possibility of new "Pokémon" characters. Aside from that, there will be a new Starbucks beverage called "Pokémon GO Frappuccino." The drink will contain raspberry and blackberry and are "while supplies last," Forbes reported. The memo says that employees should encourage the players to order the blended beverage.
But what "Pokémon GO" players are looking forward is the possible launch of Gen 2 on Dec.8 along with the start of the Starbucks promotion. Speculations reveal that new Pokémon might be revealed on the same day.
According to Android Police, the five highly anticipated creatures which include Mew, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres might be released. Or Niantic might release monsters from the second-generation games, Pokémon Gold and Silver which means that there will be about 100 more new Pokémon to catch.
The collaboration of "Pokémon GO" and Starbucks might once again bring back the hype of the game which died down a bit. This is also a bonus for players who love Starbucks since they can play more while in their favorite coffee shop.
