New details about the Starbucks leak of Pokémon show that the event should start soon. Will the 2nd generation of Pokémon be activated in Pokémon GO?
Update, 7.2., 16:20 Uhr: Niantic has now confirmed that new Pokémon are coming to Pokémon GO: Pokémon GO: 2nd Generation? Niantic officially confirms: More Pokémon are on the way
Pokémon GO Frappuccino and the new Pokémon
New screenshots of the Starbucks event emails have been published on Reddit. The announcement states that Starbucks will receive a special Frappuccino and that the Pokémon GO world will be expanded with new Pokémon.
Since the code for the 2nd generation of Pokémon is already available in the game, many trainers expect the activation of these 100 new Pokémon.
Specifically, it states that the event is supposed to start on December 8, as that is when Niantic will collaborate with Starbucks. A large portion of Starbucks stores in the USA will be transformed into PokéStops. This would mean a significant increase in PokéStops.
Players can supposedly interact with Starbucks stores to unlock a special Pokémon GO Frappuccino.
Pokémon GO: Are really 100 new Pokémon from the 2nd generation coming?
Keep in mind that these are rumors. There is no official statement from Niantic or Starbucks. We are curious about what awaits us on December 8 and whether Niantic will indeed collaborate with Starbucks to activate the 2nd generation of Pokémon in the game.
It is also possible that the rumor is “partially true”: Pokémon Go is indeed collaborating with Starbucks, but there is no major update, just a promotional campaign.
