How a new Starbucks drink could cause a Pokemon GO comeback

There are already *so* many reasons why we love Starbucks: super yummy drinks, sweet treats and there's one on practically every corner. Now, Pokémon GO has just given us one more reason to adore it.

According to the Starbucks website, there is a new partnership between Pokémon GO and Starbucks. For a limited time, 7,800 stores across the United States have turned into pokéstops or gyms, and players who locate a Starbucks store through the Pokémon GO app have the option to order an awesome new drink!

“The Pokémon GO Frappuccino starts with a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino blended beverage and raspberry syrup blended with freeze-dried whole blackberries and topped with whipped cream. It's the perfect treat for any Pokémon Trainer on the go,” the website says. 

This isn’t the first time Niantic, the creators of Pokémon GO, have partnered with major stores. When Pokémon GO launched in Japan, they partnered with McDonald’s to turn 3,000 McDonald’s restaurants into gyms. They’ve also partnered with Sprint to turn 10,500 stores into gyms and pokéstop locations.

Are you still obsessed with Pokémon GO or have you stopped playing? What do you think of this new delish frapp? Sound off below!
