just because you live somewhere inactive, doesn’t mean you can’t take day trips out to a city, or even a local park.
i personally don’t do many raids, and am more here for the collecting aspect, if you go to any amusement park, you’ll find a raid party.
My city is the 3rd largest one in the country, and I really don't have the time or money to take regular trips to our capital city just for pokemon. Plus the one time I was there, none of the raids I visited had a single person there. Aand we really don't have any huge amusement parks at all. I don't think theres any in my city period.
And yeah, collecting is what I focus on too. Which is why I'm so upset, that I'll probably never be able to get any of the legendaries. My first gen dex is literally complete, if it werent for the legends and couple regionals. And second is coming close too.
