My money is on fake.

Why would they make a cold beverage the promotion in the middle of winter? Starbucks is smarter than this.

Also it just says new pokemon, not generation 2. It's very possible it will just be a single new pokemon (or a handful). This could be anything from a rotation of the region-specific pokemon (e.g. the USA could have Mr. Mime spawning at Starbucks) to a release of gen 1 legendaries rather than gen 2 (e.g. whichever Starbucks sells the most of the new beverage will have a Mew spawn).

Obviously I'm just speculating here. I think it would be odd that they'd release generation 2 before any release of generation 1 legendaries. I also think if they made a promotion this time of year it would be on a hot beverage.

The drink is real.

Legendaries will probably require more permits if they intend to release it during a worldwide event like that original PoGO trailer where a crowd gathers in Time Square to catch Mewto.

No words about trade or pvp :'(

That's the point of the new tracker. Sponsorship. $$$

Already happening in other countries. Hopefully McDonald's and Tbell soon. Closest Starbucks is 30 mins away.

Soon they will have special spawns at locations to bring customers most likely. Why wouldn't they? Brings business. Shows up on the new tracker, sponsored gets priority. "Pikachu at McDonald's every weekday 5-9!"

another leak/fake ....

This post says you engage a frappachino on the pokestop at starbucks to get a "unreleased mon." Could be just one mon and not gen 2 tho..

if the "big update" revolves solely around Starbucks rural players will be livid

Also says mostly in the USA. For the rest of the world that is pretty lame.

Most of the USA is rural area... They have been letting people down lately. Just a couple of small changes could make a lot of people happy.

Sucks seeing people post pictures of hundreds of ultra balls when I have to BUY regular balls and pick and choose what is worth using them on.

Red - what's your zip code/city? I can go on www.ingress.com/intel and look for farmable clusters of pokestops for you (or you can create a lv.1 Ingress account and look yourself - Niantic ported over most of the portals in Ingress as pokestops).

This works you can add stops. Id look into this. There is a thread on reddit that details how to get stops added.

May the force be with you lol.
I know im corny dont hate appreciate

I found 6 within 10 min walk of eachother but it's a 20 min drive and no Pokemon spawn around them. I just get eggs from them every couple of days.

A redditor says they added a pic and it was turned into a pokestop a couple weeks later. No idea if this works....

"Another Redditor has suggested using Ingress to locate unclaimed portals and update the information. Because Ingress portals were used as a base for originally creating Pokemon GO gyms and Pokestops, this Redditor hopes they might still be used to update new locations. It’s a slim chance, but you can always try updating portals on Ingress and adding images to see if it works."

Might try it. Would be nice to have a stop next to each gym at least.

Oh man, that really is in the middle of nowhere, isn't it! Let's see - there are several portals more or less clustered in Bentonville (if you want to drive down). The best cluster is by the Bentonville City Square on E Central Ave, extending from NE 5th St to SW 4th St. There are also some further south, on S Watch Blvd, and at the intersection of I-49 and Walnut. I don't know the area - are there any nearby colleges or universities? Those usually have a high portal cluster, as do historic cemeteries.

Haha yes it is, not only that, I'm on the outskirts of the middle of nowhere..... The square is one of the spots I go to, its very very crowded though and about 30 mins away on highway. I will check out walnut! That's my old road. Also know of a civil war cemetery I will check. 1 college and it just has a gym:/ thanks a ton for looking!

Good luck with your searching! Yeah, rural play is rough for Ingress too (though the item cap is 2000, which helps a bit when it comes to gameplay); most rural players I know will take their external battery (or batteries) and take a 2-3 hour trip to a larger city to farm once every week/couple of weeks. Another good thing about Ingress is that you can drop capsules full of gear for other people; wonder if that will ever come to PoGo (probably not, since it'd cut into Niantic making money selling normal balls).

Let's see, graveyards, colleges... areas with lots of cultural attractions (e.g., lots of museums, art installations, public parks, etc.) tend to be high in portals too. Before you go driving off for hours at a time though, I would say make an Ingress account so you can check Intel from the comfort of your couch! (If you do, choose Team Green! Up with the Enlightenment and down with the Resistance!!)
