We were wondering if because of the human population here the pokemon are released in larger proportion too.
Although he says it also helps that there are 2 poke-stops within 100 metres of our apartment block and a lure right in front of Tim Ho Wan (the restaurant) which is only about 200 m away from us.
He was waiting for the lift to come back up to our apartment before and caught 4 pokemon just while waiting!
Do businesses pay for these poke-stops and lures? I just went for a walk with him and it seems every few restaurants there is one... seems too convenient that these lures are in front of places where you'd go in and sit down...
