I want to know, who decides where the Pokemon are located?

[iMore Question]

We're here stories of people wander onto landmine fields and military bases, so the question is, who is deciding to place the Pokemon there in the first place? Is it the game makers? Can players add them and then direct others there?

They show up everywhere, just like real animals would. They are prevalent in areas and times suitable to their types. As in fighting types by gyms, water by water, etc.
