Brilliant.I found Squirtle!
Saw this the other day in the OT, so awesome. Added this to the OP.
The big difference is that the app is officially out in Australia which means 80 year old grandmas can download the thing without going through hoops.

Boom you'll get mugged by someone preying on Pokemon players.
It is, technically. The price of the shares shot up so the value of the company is around 8 billion more than it was last week.

Crazy that some jerks would do this, but I'm not surprised.

By the way, couldn't this be considered copyright infringement? Basically advertising their store with Nintendo's brand. Not that I'd want any action taken against it, just asking out of curiosity.

I just wanted to mention to anyone creeping around any of these threads or our OT...totally go in and be super awesome to local businesses. Not only are you invigorating your local economy and supporting local businesses, but you're having lots of fun too.
And more good news stories are always great, especially for vidya games. So make sure you visit local PokeStops!

I already posted this in the OT, but I feel it's worth posting here as well. 
Center street in Utah has been lit the last few days. There are about 30 Pokestops down the street, about a 10 minute walk. So it's a popular place for Trainers to run by to horde Pokeballs.
One of the small local restaurants has had Poke Lure's at their Pokestop up almost every time, and I actually saw a Jolteon get attracted there on my run down, so when I saw they were supporting the game and the players, I decided to support them and eat there for the first time.
Food was good, Jolteon was good, and I just love how this game is bringing people together and getting gamers outside.

Fuuuuck that's amazing!!!
I'm crying from laughing at the stuff in this thread. Reminds me of when every little mom and pop store would have a sign advertising TY Beanie Babies. I remember my dad's friend giving him a slip of paper with some eBay URLs written in it for good beanie baby sellers in the late 90s. This is like the modern version of that.

I'm sorry? I don't even know what WBC is. These are from my own observations.

So, wait.
If you're a small business, you can set your place as a pokestop? How does that work?

This whole phenomenon has been so cool. It's gonna be a real bummer when it dies down as I'm loving the affect it's having on the community
