I visited someone out in the country earlier this week and noticed there were literally no Pokemon out there, so I'm not too surprised to hear this but I live in the city, myself.

Do you have ANY Pokestops or Gyms nearby? If so, I would try putting down a Lure on one of those. Also, does using incense have any effect?

I imagine you may just have to play when you go in to more urban areas, though.

I live pretty out there away from a big city and I have been playing the game for 5 days now. At first it didn't seem to be a problem because every Pokemon that did pop up I grabbed. Now that I am on my 5th days the pickings are very sporadic and slim and always seem to be the same Pokemon popping up.

I live in a similar area and the best way I've found is just to spam incense, but unless you're happy to pay real money it's not a very reliable solution! I'm moving to a more developed area soon so I'm happy to make any progress I can before then, but if you have no plans on living in a more developed area soon then you may just have to make do with the slim pickings you have there. It could also be worth reporting it as a bug/issue to the Go team - I'm sure they wouldn't want certain areas to just be completely void of Pokémon to play with.
