Rumour: New Pokémon GO Monsters On The Way This Week As Part Of Starbucks Campaign

Is there a legendary tax dodging Pokemon??

I'm more interested by the reference to 'unlocking' the frappuccino in-game... makes me think they might be adding it as if it was a Pokemon, and you can only capture it while in range of one of the Starbucks PokeStops/Gyms.

@Megas Frappywappies are $2 from 2-4pm this week, although that might have just been Monday. Now I'm vaguely interested in checking

The Pokestop description, "Places in Pokemon GO that allow you to collect items (such as eggs, pokeballs, and potions)" I love how it just says eggs, not Pokemon Eggs or anything. I can just imagine someone unfamiliar with the game thinking "What do you need eggs for...?"

Yay I can't wait!

Starbucks is as Non-Tolerant as it gets, I will PASS!

If it's not gen 2 mons, then it's the gen 1 legendaries. It would be lame if they introduced legendaries this way, so it's gotta be gen 2.

Unfortunately, the game has started to run more poorly for me with every single update. I can no longer play it on my phone, since my trainer no longer walks. She stays in one spot. I had to close the game and restart it whenever I wanted to spin a pokestop, and eggs were no longer an option, so I stopped. I was looking forward to getting my favorite starter, cyndaquil. Curse you, cruddy phone! I can't buy a better one just for a game.

Hmm, this just appears to be an old "leak" typed up better & with corrected spelling. If I remember correctly, the original document mentioned "Pokeymans". Should be interesting... I actually live somewhere without a Starbucks.

Buy Frappuccino: get Articuno?

My love of Pokémon will never entice me to go to Starbucks, as they are pretty steep. Though café's and smartphones go hand-in-hand these days so smart move I'd say. :3

Would they really release Gen 2 before the legendries from Gen 1?

Still waiting to be able submit new Stops/Gyms. :/

It's cute they think there are employees who have no idea what a Pokémon is though.

well I do have a old gift card burning a hole in my pocket....might as well.

Probably the gen 1 legendaries. Seems interesting!

Thinking about it, we have no idea when this was originally planned... the situation may have changed since then.

Look at the drink... doesn't it's colour remind you of a certain Pokemon that was recently added to the game?
They may have been planning to release Ditto alongside this event, but then decided to bring Ditto forward to before the weather got too cold for many people.

@MadameSpuki

Wrong, café's and laptops go hand-in-hand. Smartphones go with everywhere.

All I saw was powder, syrup, blend. Eeugh, good thing I'm staying coffee-free when I get into the age range to drink the stuff. Silly Americans and their grab 'n go foods/drinks...

@DragonEleven I could be wrong, but I assumed that 'unlocking' the frappuccino in-game just means the picture of the pokestop or gym will be of the new frappuccino.

Edit: actually after rereading it, it just sounds like they're referring to unlocking the frappuccino in real life. In other words, you can buy it if you head to Starbucks.

Well this frappuccino has been available for a little while as a secret item, TrainerTips has already ordered & consumed one. If we want to get into the semantics of the document, it states "new pokémon", not "a new pokémon"... which makes it plural.

Of course this could just be someone who doesn't understand pokémon.

@iGen I don't often see people using laptops at cafes these days, usually see smartphones but ok. What age range is that? I've been drinking coffee since I were small. :x

@MadameSpuki

Strange, all I see at Starbucks and Panera Bread are countless MacBooks and Inspirons... Hm.

Probably around someone's 20's. To be honest though, I think it's really for people who are worn and have no energy for the day. Like their late 40's/50's.

How small were you when you started drinking coffee? Children shouldn't need external energy, they should already be healthy enough where they can get out of bed and jump to school with a couple minutes buffer. Plus, I heard if you drink it too young, it can stunt your growth. Oh noes!

@MadameSpuki

You're not finished growing at your current age, your body stops that at around 30 or so. But, keep in mind you're not finished yet. There are still inches to be claimed.

PS: I actually have about the same height as you, and meanwhile I'm 5 years younger. Maybe it is all the premature coffee? Or being that half my family is abnormally tall. Not sure.

I'm sorry if that got a little too personal... I don't really know how to act, you see.

@MadameSpuki

You learn something new every day. ^_^

I hear it's typical for females to have longer lifespans than men, so you have that, at least.

Well, yeah. I'm 15. I just thought it would be interesting to say that 2 decades in, and the human isn't finished developing at all. In fact, it's still going very strong. It's a wonder of nature, really.

I thought I did? ... ...I hope I'm not.

@MadameSpuki

Lovely.

Okay, it was great talking to you!

I'll be on my way now.
