You will explore your destination better

This game forces the traveller to walk around to catch Pokémons especially at places  designated as Pokestops. Some of these Pokestops include restaurants, cultural landmarks, and destinations. With this, you will be more in tune with your immediate environment.

You will make new discoveries
