New information has been leaked about the rumored tie-up between coffee store giant Starbucks and Niantic Labs' "Pokémon GO."

Leaked Emails For Starbucks Employees: Starbucks x Pokémon GO Collaboration

Multiple Starbucks employees have leaked a supposedly confidential correspondence about the store's "Pokémon GO" promotion coming up this week.

As the emails state, most Starbucks shops will be turned into Pokéstops starting Dec. 8, and store mangers were told to prepare for the influx of customers during those times. Not all were turned into Pokéstops due to strict Niantic requirements, according to The Pokémon GO Hub.

The store will also offer a new, limited edition "Pokémon GO" Starbucks drink called the "Pokémon GO" Frappuccino Blended Creme. The drink will be made up of Raspberry syrup and blueberries, topped with cream. The Grande will cost $4.95.

The Pokémon GO Hub also found out that the new Frappuccino will be found within the game, although its purpose is still unclear.

What Does This Have To Do With "Pokémon GO" Gen 2?

In November, a Redditor claiming to be a Starbucks employee posted an internal email on the Silph Road and Pokémon GO subreddits. According to the Redditor, this email was sent out to all Starbucks employees to inform them of the company's next promotion, which may or may not be related to the above promotion.

The email contains the following reference to "Pokémon GO":

"Pokeman - 12/7 Launch of Pokeman Version 2... Starbuck stores will be a part of [some parts not seen on image] comes into the store: Pokeman Frappuccino (recipe to be communicated)

Lures will be dropped at all SBUX stores that will provide even more direct [some parts not seen on image] January / February"

"Now, it's hard to say whether or not this specifically refers to Generation 2 (although what else could it mean?), whether or not Starbucks and Niantic are partnered up, or if this will even be pushed out on the date specified (things don't always go to plan)," the Redditor wrote on the page. "However, it all makes sense to me, but this would be a huge update."

Niantic Labs themselves have not confirmed any date for "Pokémon GO" Gen 2, but as far as we know, the codes for Gen 2 is already in the game, as per The Silph Road, and it is only a matter of time before they are finally released.
