Opportunities for Cultural Appreciation
A lot of PokeStops can be found at historical landmarks such as monuments and museums. This means that trainers who aim to visit every PokeStop in their area will eventually find themselves visiting these culturally significant spots, and will have the opportunity to learn more about their own country/state’s history and heritage.
However, it’s also important to be mindful and respectful when you’re visiting historically significant venues. While it might be exciting to take over a Gym, or set up a new Lure Module at the PokeStop, players should always remember that there’s a time to play, and there’s a time to put the phone away out of proper respect for the meaning and value of the places they’re visiting. Instead of making a ruckus inside a museum that happens to be a PokeStop, maybe leave the Poke hunting outside of the building, and pay some attention to what the museum has to offer instead.
