I know now why so many people skipped and/or hated this game haha! (Just got back from Disney). It was fun, but deleted now. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

It makes so much sense that the most dense urban areas have the most wild Pokémon.
I always thought it would have been cool if Pokemon were only found in environments that were “realistic” to that type. Like, if you had to go to a river to find water Pokemon, or if Geodude was only in the mountains. Seems like they didn’t do that, though.
Gotta break into a power plant to get that magnemite and voltorb.
Or have them spawn during electrical storms.

“I plunderes the nuclear fuel storage pool and all I got was this t-shirt. And ARS.”
This system is in the game. You can look up info for Pokemon biomes. TL;DR is that open street maps lists zones related to terrain, and Pokemon GO has always had separate spawn pools related to these. The major ones are forest, mountain, waterside, and urban.
As of several years ago, this distinction was heavily reduced, and it largely flattened the spawn pools worldwide.
But in 2016-2017 I’d specifically seek out rivers to find Magikarp and lakes to find Poliwag.
What? That is Soo lame bro, why would they change that? Way to go Niantic. Ya idiots
Yep, I would look for transformers for Pikachu back then. It’s a shame they still haven’t fixed the rural areas
I did think that was going to be the original idea. To encourage you to actually explore your environment and to actually go outside the city.
Doing that would require some fairly robust and sophisticated trading mechanics though so I actually could get a sand type even if I didn’t live near a desert, in exchange they could have a grass type that I had captured on open morland in Northern England.
It would have been cool if they’ve managed to get the market density required to pull it off
Where I live magicarps only spwan near the river (I think, have never seen them anywhere else)
That’s cuz kids would have died
