No Pokemon Nearby [duplicate]

Can't seem to get nearby Pokemon besides using incense. I don't live in a rural place because there are multiple gyms and pokestops within my area but no nearby Pokemon. This has been going on since the release. Is there a way to tell the system/Niantic to spawn Pokemon in my location? Also can I update pokestops? I know there are multiple people with this problem so lets try to make this question big so Niantic will fix (after they fix the servers and release the game to the world)

My running theory is that a pokemon spawns, someone sees it and catches it right away. While they're still battling, every phone that loads the area will see it, but once it's caught, then anyone else who checks won't see it anymore. If there's a lot of players in a small area, the odds increase that someone sees it and catches it quickly, and the odds go way down that any will be left standing around when you check. I see tons of pokemon all weekend at my apartment, and have never yet seen one at work for instance. (TONS of players at my work)

What to do if there are no PokÃ©mon near you?

If you can't find any Pok\xe9mon, your connection to the game's server may be borked. Try restarting your Wi-Fi connection (or turning it on, if it's off), even if you're not near a Wi-Fi source. Simply having the Wi-Fi on can ease connectivity issues. Try rebooting the app, too.

Can you search for duplicate PokÃ©mon in Pokemon go?

To find out if you have a duplicate, simply click the icon in the lower right and change to sort by #. Sorting by recent can be a great way to see what you caught recently (like if an egg hatched but the game crashed before you could see what it was).

What is the easiest way to get duplicates in Pokemon go?

While catching duplicates is helpful, you should get rid of them afterwards in order to save precious storage space. Simply open your collection, tap a Pok\xe9mon you want to get rid of and select Transfer -- you'll be rewarded with some sweet Pok\xe9mon-specific candy that you can use towards evolving that character.
