"What are some things about your biome that show just how different PoGo can be from place to place?"

#PokemonGO: What are some peculiarities about your biome, which showcase just how different the game can be from one place to another? (EDIT - Do mention which biome you live in)For example, this is what life in a desert biome has been like -1) I obtained my first Golem & Machamp before my first Butterfree2) I catch every Snubbull I can find to painstakingly inch towards the fairy gold medal3) Vileplume, Victreebell, Nidoqueen & Nidoking are amongst the last 10 Gen 1 Pokemon I've yet to obtain4) I have only caught 8 Pikachu ever, 6 of which were during the Santa Hat event (L29 here) via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2rTFpEa
