Apparently, there’re approximately 2,900 stores domestically. 400 of them are then displayed as ‘Gym’, similarly 2500 of them are ‘Poke Stop’ in this application. However, it isn’t clear which McDonald’s is ‘Gym’ or ‘Poke Stop’.
‘Gym’ is a spot which players dividing into three groups join in the Pokemon battle. In this case, each player cooperating with companions protects their ‘Gym’ from the opponent’s attack and defeats the opponent’s one. As for ‘Poke Stop’, with approaching and tapping a smartphone, player would get some items like Monster Ball and Pokemon’s eggs. Besides, the places that the majority of people are interested, such as art works, historical spots, museums and remains, are registered as a landmark of ‘Pokemon GO’.
