I downloaded it last night, found my first monster hiding in my back garden then uninstalled it on the grounds that it had already become tedious.

There is a Pokémon Gym fairly near me, already the youth have started to gather to ignore each other.
 
I think it's great, people going out, having fun, meeting people. Smart phones helping strangers engage with each other and their environment, rather than helping them disengage.

Touring around NZ for 2 months would be wonderful. I caught buses around it back in the nineties, capturing whales, walruses and kakapos on film instead of imaginary creatures on a smart phone, but it's an adventure he'll have a ball.

The stops are generally only points of interest, so businesses don't usually get accepted. Niantic also made a similar game a few years back called Ingress, a technical urban war game where you went to points of interest to collect stuff, attack, and try take control of towns.

Users in that could submit photos of points of interest, they would be reviewed and added if they met the criteria. It appears the pokestops are the same points of interest used in Ingress so far. So I'd assume, and hope, that the same criteria would apply.

However, money talks.
