The three reserves are the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, and the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. The statement said more people are visiting and exploring Singapore's nature reserves, where Pokestops -- designated areas where players can gather items -- are located. 'Pokemon Go' has taken Singapore by storm since it was launched earlier this year.
