I'm in the suburbs, pretty limited but there's placed I can go to catch a lot.  The intersection where the two parks and the orthodox church meet usually has four or five pokemon all together.

Apparently electric pokemon tend to hang out around electrical equipment, not sure if that's true but I know where there's some transformers.  I might head over there some time and pop an incense, see what happens.

[Sirus]

Speaking of incense, I popped one once. Swear to Arceus, before the time was even half over every pokemon nearby appeared to have moved further away rather than closer. I caught a couple of common mons in the first few minutes and then nothing else appeared for the remaining 20+.

You need to be in motion for incense to have its maximum effect, otherwise it'll only spawn a few pokemon over its duration.

I actually *really* want this to be true, but someone you support it?

Edit:  Wow that sure is a sentence I wrote while on a call

It's in some of the game data, I believe.

Back and forth motion seems to count for incubators, so reckon it'll count as long as you are moving the phone or whatever.

Can't wait to see the first marketed rocking cradle for pokemon eggs.

God forbid somebody actually goes outside, walks around, or socializes, right?

Haha, I might as well strap one of my pendulum-pedometer Digivices to my belt while out catching Pokémon. How far we have come in virtual-monster-driven-exercise-promoters.

Question for people playing:
Are Pokémon that appear shared generally, or are they unique in each person's game?
That is, if my friend and I are out walking and she came across a Caterpie, would I also encounter a Caterpie in the exact same place? If so, would we both be able to capture it, or would it be first-catch-first-serve?

I'm trying to wrap my mind around it without having seen it in action...

I've read that normal spawns and lure module spawns are global but incense is for the user only. This jives with my experience - walking yesterday, my wife caught many more Pokemon than myself. She had an incense and I did not.

There were several instances of our phones buzzing at the same time and us both trying to catch the same Pokemon (though mine were generally of a higher CP). Sometimes we would both catch it. Sometimes hers would run away (makes me wonder if sometimes the game either mistook her for a cheater or noticed that there was no longer a Pokemon there).

Considering this happened: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3693814/Chaos-Central-Park-gamers-leap-cars-leave-engines-running-catch-rare-POKEMON.html

I would assume everyone sees them. Not sure if everyone can catch them or if it goes to the first person though, I haven't been in a pokezombie swarm yet to find out lol.

Pokemon go is reaching insane levels.

Here in Daytona Beach, one of the hotels near the boardwalk actually advertised that it was within range of the boardwalk pokemon. Which I'm assuming is a pokestop or a gym or something because it's one of the city's tourist attractions.  I'm sure there's a similar situation at all the hotels and restaurants near the Daytona International Speedway. 

I'm kinda wondering if main street is also any kind of pokemon go hotspot.  On one hand it's one of the city's big attractions, on the other it's a big biker(motorcyclist) attraction, not the kind of folks that would typically be interested in cell phone apps, and is mostly age 18+ only bars.

And I actually saw an article in the free local paper about how the volusia mall (also near the speedway) has almost doubled the number of visitors since the game was released.

I wish I had a smartphone.

EDIT: Hm if anyone here lives in the daytona beach metro area and is on the fence about getting pokemon go or is having trouble finding pokestops because this isn't really a super dense big city the daytona beach news journal's online site listed some hotspots.   

* Port orange has gyms and pokespots all up and down dunlawton ave.  So if yer south of daytona and live near dunlawton, yer golden.

* Pretty much all the local wal marts are covered in pokemon.  Apparently what I've heard from other sources the local wal mart managers are placing lure modules in the stores.  Though it seems there are a few pokespots too.

* In daytona beach proper There are pokespots all over the city bridges, particularly international speedway boulevard bridge for obvious reasons. 

*Bethune-Cookman University, George w Ingram, and Martin Luther King Boulevard are also apparently covered in pokespots and gyms in Daytona beach.
