>2. Harness the attention for organizational benefit where possible (Add PokeStop to increase museum attendance)

i wonder (have never played myself) whether the Pokemons can be customized according to location - a restaurant owner would pay for the Pokemons enjoying and cheering the food there while the Pokemons in the military settings like that museum would ride a tank or a plane or shoot some weaponry military ads style.

They're usually customized by weather/continent/time of the year rather than by specific location.

The closest I've heard of was when the game just came out. There's an item in-game called lures that attract Pokemons to a specific stop. Many restaurant owners were trying to attract customers by consistently buying and applying them, so people could continue to play while eating.

They cost 1$ for like 30 minutes or something like that.
