Okay, you've all thought about this at one point in your lives.You are starting a pokemon journey RIGHT NOW. Starting in your hometown, and areas reasonably reachable on foot, describe what pokemon you will find.In my hometown you will find Wingulls. Wingulls everywhere. Theres also quite a few Pidgeys and the occasional meowth around town. Out by the beach you'll find plenty of Tentacools washed up on the beach, a few shellders, and very occasionally you'll find a Crabby.Out at sea you'll find mostly the same things, with a few fish pokemon and Wailmers/Wailords occasionally showing up in the Summer.If you take the bridge north into Oceanside, out by the landfill and incinerator, you can find Koffings and Mucks.If you take the other Bridge to the Loop Parkway, you get a bunch of Salt marshes where you can find all the Swana you could ever want, more Wingulls, and a few hoppips, and the very rare Farfetch'd....Looks like I'm building a Water/Flying team.
Bugs and water mainly
Some of them go without saying. Pidgey and Rattata are going to be practically everywhere, and the various cat and dog-like pokemon will stand in as pets.But I'd say, just from the top of my head: Stantler, Ursaring, Bibarel, Buneary, Taillow... and very rarely, Wargle :3
Oddish, Gloom, Stantlers, and Mightyena packs. If I'm lucky, there might be a Snorlax or Teddiursa two miles north, or three miles south I can visit the Power Plant. There would also be tons of Spearow, Murkrow, and Staraptors.
>>11837You gotta have some Grass types in there.>>11839...Wait What?
Grimers. Grimers everywhere.
>>11840Eugene, man. Two miles in any direction is either a forest, an industrial district, or mountains, and we're an average-sized city, all things considered. It's just that Oregon has this obsession with making our cities very "natural." Downtown's oak trees are as tall as some of our skyscrapers, cougars can be found in the suburbs just as easily as in the rural sects of town, et cetera.
Considering that ecologically I live in Generic Woodlands and Plains Being Developed Into Suburbs, USA I'd probably see lots of Bugs, some Stantler, shallow Water-types like Poliwhirl and Marill, Zigzagoon, Tailow, and less-exotic Grass-types (like Oddish).I also live relatively close to a river, so I could probably find some other Water-types like Barboach, Quagsire, or Corphish.There also might be some caves I could eventually get to.
>>11843Sorry I meant to say>>Mightyenas>>Wait What?I don't think you got Hyenas out there.
>>11846They look more like coyotes to me! :O Wait>Mightyena>Mighty hyena>hyenaI feel dumb.
New York and it's five boroughs would no doubt be loaded with an interesting blend of Pokemon, with the occasional escaped import running around.Looooots of bugs, muk and grimer and the multitude of empty housing projects would probably bring ghost in.We'd have tons of Pokemon on construction teams all over the place.
Prairies and low-lying mountains as far as the eye can see. I used to live on a farm, so a lot of my Pokemon would come from there...Mareep, Tauros, Farfetch'd, Piloswine...I mean, there wasn't a lot of snow, but the wild pigs are veeery hairy.
>Starting in your hometown, and areas reasonably reachable on foot>Rural Joiseysnake pffthahaha.jpgMurkrow, farm animals like Miltank and Tauros, Stantler, Shikijika (the new deer that changes appearance with the seasons), Teddiursa and Ursaring, Zigzagoon, Grass and Bug types up the wing-wong, and perhaps the occasional Pikachu and Pikachu clone.The area is big on pets too, so I suppose it'd be easy to get a Growlithe or Meowth as a gift.
>>11843>>11851North New Jersey here, and I actually know what you're talking about. NJ has this big stereotype of being an industrialized toxic waste dump, but we've actually got a bunch of forests here.So that means dozens of different flying and bug types. We've had deer and raccoons going through our garbage in the past, so odds are I'd get Stantler/Shikijika and Sentret. We've got caves and mountains trails, so that means zubat and geodude. Teddiursa are a distinct possibility too, since bears have been known to wander down from the nearby reservation on occasionAnd at the same time, I'm like, a 10 minute train ride away from Manhattan, so that means I could get grimer and muk. Maybe fish in the Hudson for magikarp or tentacool, since they live everywhere.I could probably end up with a really balanced team if I put my mind to it.
lots of fish-types (Goldeens, magikarps, etc), tentacool/cruel, wingulls. Here in the city, there's fucking stray cats everywhere, so Meowth and their ilk maybe. Get further out of town and it's ekans everywhere... And BUGS. FUCKING BUGS FOR MILES.FUCK YOU, FLORIDA, AND ALL YOUR GODFORSAKEN BUGS.
>>11863Bugs are a good type though.Also, we'd have sharks, if the only pokemon shark didn't evolve from a pirana.
>>11864>Bugs are a good typeHehehehehehehehohohohoho...
i live in desert/farmland so lets see...there would definitely be a ton of Sandshrew/Geodudes maybe a couple Cacnea. for the farm land Miltank and ponyta.
>>11863Southern California deserts so...Cacnea, CacturneTrapinch, Scorupi and other bugtypes, huge amount of lizards(Charmander and others) and what ever there is for a coyote analog in the Pokeverse. Oh, and Persian(or what ever they have for Cougars.)
>>11865FUCK YOU, I'M A HERACROSS
Lots of ground and grass pokemon, probably some turtwigs and such scattered about along with lots of diglett (yessss). Some river-based pokemon, like feebas and magikarp.
Tampa, FLShitloads of Pidgeys, Wingulls, and Pelipper.Swamplands would have some Ekans, more tropical flying types, Totodiles, and bug types everywhere.In the bay areas, there would be Carvahna, Sharpedo, Relicanth, Tentacool, Tentacruel, etc.
My hometown? You mean the place I was born?Bidoof. And only Bidoof.
>>11911...That seems odd.
>>11912You've never been to Oregon, have you?
>>11914I'm from Oregon. We'd have a ton of shit.
>>11914But nothing else?You had a bunch of stuff on your list.
>>11919I live in the second biggest metro in the state, I assumed Barkley was from somewhere rural since as I recall he recently moved here.
>>11921Yeah but I mean...shouldn't there be more animals then?
>>11922Beavers are overly abundant here, and we're clearly talking in hyperbole. Even I wouldn't say Oregon's nothing but beavers....Actually, I'd be screaming there's no beavers thanks to college football jokes. That's probably why I forgot to mention Bidoof the first time.
>>11912>>11918>>11919>>11922Well yeah I guess there would be like generic bugs and plants and birds and shit.But who fuckin' cares when you can have a Bidoof instead.
>>11877 Woo, Tampa-fags.We're also the lightning captial of the world, so maybe some crazy-powerful electric types running around? Zaptos, even? Especially during the summer, when we get thunderstorms like every freakin' day.
>>11877>>11958What the fuck how many of you fags are from Tampa!?
Grimer, Rattata and Oddish.Diglett as well.
>>11844Forgot to mention: Kricketots and Kricketune. Shit loads of them, and they don't just come around at night.
I'm on a short mountain in Maine, right on the coast of New England. There are lots of lakes and rivers, hills and dales, and trees. In the winter, there's ice and snow.And Stephen King lives here.Ground/Rock/Water/Grass/Bug/Dark/Ghost/NormalLets see.. On the coast, pretty much every water type that isn't gigantic. Seels, shelders, psyducks, poliwags.. slowpoke, staryu.It's rural, so grass, ground and rocks are in equal measure. Anybody that has ever dug a hole here will tell you "god damnit, this soil sucks. It's full of rocks and fuck."Grass: Oddish, Paras, Tangela, Ground: Sandshrew, Rock: Geodude. Probably not Onix.Bug: Venonat, Wheedle.By Stephen King's house:Ghost: Uhm.. Well, Ghastly.Dark: Not too familiar with dark types. Couldn't say.Normal: Rural to urban areas. Clefairies, Farfetch'd, Ratatta. Maybe Meowths, as the state cat is the Maine Coon. They would have resistance against the cold like woah and not give a fuck about water.In the winter, you can catch Jynx.
Welcome to the suburban Bay Area, where there is nothing but little boxes on the hillside in a couple directions, and a few good-looking hills on the other.Most likely, I'll be able to net myself a Murkrow from the flocks around the area, as well as maybe a Starly or, if I'm lucky, a Pidgeotto. There's the occasional feral Meowth or Zigzagoon prowling around my neighborhood late night, often crossing paths with the somewhat rare Stunky - strangely enough, I usually find Stunkies as roadkill more often than I see them at night.Of course, just south of me would be the San Andreas Lake, of which I have not much experience with, but I guarantee there's a veritable trove of Bugs and Forest-dwellers, most likely Stantler and a ton of Ariados. San Bruno Mountain is just so very visible, and I'm sure there are things there I can grab.A swarm of Combee came by my route home last Wednesday. I occasionally pass by migrating Beautifly during the spring after class in the afternoon. Also, I can usually drop by flocks of Wingull who come by to pick up after messy students after lunch at the local high school.Of course, Seel and Dewgongs hang around Pier 39, but I doubt they would let me toss a ball and catch one. Same story probably with the Squirtles they have playing at the pond in the local mall.Final list is pretty much a flying list, with occasional Normals and Bugs. Let's see, fully evolved: Staraptor, Pidgeot, Butterfree, Stantler, Persian, and Honchkrow.

As far as gyms and whatnot would go, I guess the major cities and type specializations would be:Toronto-Psychic?Mississauga-FlyingOakville-GroundBurlington- NormalHamilton-SteelNiagra Falls-WaterKitchener- I don't know? Ice, maybe? I've never been to KitchenerBrantford-Electric
>>11857And then you go to Elizabeth.Koffings. Koffings everywhere.
>>12022I lived in Waterloo for a year. I want to say Normal, even though it's already taken, just so that the leader can have a party of all Miltanks. Why? Because Kitchener-Waterloo smells like manure when the wind is in the right direction.Ice works too, though. That place is right on the snow belt.
You can find too many different kinds of Pokemon in Norway.Just about EVERY goddamn water pokemon ever that isn't tropical can be found here, Bug types too.And...christ.There is a lot of coverage here.Water, Ice, Dark, Normal, Rock, Ground, Flying and Grass.So much.
Hm. So I'm near Lake Superior, and almost right on top of the old copper mines, and there's hella nature up here. Wingulls everywhere, and pokemon native to freshwater; geodudes, onix and larvitars possible. There should be some good flying types in the forests, too; lots of undisturbed forest. If I can see Golden eagles and bald eagles fighting for territory up here we'd probably have pidgeots and fearow and all those final evolutions. Basically any pokemon that can survive the kind of winters we get up here and don't need constant cold.
Man I'm in Kansas so I guess the most boring plain plains pokemons
Considering my neighborhood...
Hmmm... standard city/urban area.So pidgey, rattata, grimer, muk.. pretty boring... but we do have some country nearby, so maybe a few rapidash and milktank?Not much a team setup...
>Your hometown>Yakutsk, Russia>SiberiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAThat said, Ice, (fully aquatic; Egg Type 2) Water, Ground, Rock, Steel, Bug, Flying. Mostly combo ones. Also Growlithes (Huskies), Furrets (mink and sable), Vulpix (foxes), Ponyta (Mongolian Horse), Stantler (caribou and moose).Pretty awesome selection except it's the worst climate to live in ever.EVER.
>Inland NorwayRock types, a few ice types, and Mareep.Lots of Mareep.
>Manila, PhilippinesMy team will be composed of strays I must save from being turned into food or escapees from local restaurants.Dogs, fish, cats, the like. And because this one Chinese resto I went to once had turtle soup on the menu as a bestseller, I'm hoping for either Squirtle or Turtwig.
>Herndon, VirginiaPidgey, Spearow, Bidoof, and so fucking many Pachirisu. Pachirisu just goddamn everywhere. Also Squirtle, surprisingly enough. Apparently there's snapping turtles in the rivers.
