Pokemon Go players discover why spawns are more common in this location
Sharing their discovery on Reddit, one user joked that the “Pokemon Go logic” was that all the best Pokemon spawn in urban areas, or in this case, just outside a Walmart.
One user provided a relatively sound reason as to why many have experienced a similar phenomenon: “If memory serves, part of the spawn algorithm is calculated based on cell phone usage in the area.
