So, you want to catch ’em all, huh?
Pokemon Go has swept the nation, and the app has broken records for the most downloads in the first week of release. All over the country, people are swarming, gathering, and all around going nuts, playing this interactive game.
Since we’re a data analytics website, and because we’re often cited as the ‘go to’ place for regional infotainment, we thought it was our duty to be as helpful as we can for people in Wisconsin who want to have the inside scoop as to where they should go if they want to dominate this addicting game.
After analyzing every place in Wisconsin, here is our list of the best places to catch Pokemon in the Badger State:

As you might note, these are all smaller suburbs of major cities in Wisconsin. That’s because in smaller cities, there are a higher number of places per capita where Pokemon are traditionally found. Meaning you’ll find more Pokemon in a much smaller area. When you read the analysis below, this will all make sense. Trust us.
