Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

Seems to me that in a few weeks, everyone will have saturated on their local Pokemon. A lot of the Pokemon in my immediate area are water type living near a harbor, so I was thinking it'd be nice to have an electric type to take them out. Seems like the only reliable way to do that would be to travel somewhere with that type, level up, and bring it back home to camp a gym. Probably thinking too in depth about the future meta though.
Though where would one go for a specific type of Pokemon? I was on vacation in the mountains during launch, but didn't see proportionally more ice types. But that may have been because I was low level. In my harbor city, at level 10, definitely see a good amount of Magikarp, Goldeen, Psyduck, and the random Tentacool if I'm walking along the harbor. Towards the city, more Ratata, Pidgey, Spearow, Weedle, and Caterpie.
Also, if you're just getting started and are catching a lot of Pidgey and Ratata, don't transfer the extras to the Prof right away. At level 9 and 10, you'll get an a Lucky Egg which can be used for double xp. Evolving Pidgey and Ratata only takes 12 candy, and the level boost in saving evolves for a Lucky Egg is supposed to be significant.
That kinda sucks, but is also kinda nice in that you don't have to go too out of your way to get a variety of Pokemon if they just naturally get more diverse as you level.

This Pokemon game is first step towards the matrix, people are literally walking around catching invisible digital shit. This shit is worth so much entertainment, on par with the Eve thread during wars. But with more funnies. Someone I know complained they had blisters on their feet from walking so much today lol.

Bought a shitty $20 android phone at Target with 5.x on it, popped the sim out, paired it to my phones hot spot and now the kids can play it on our weekend river hikes. Had to root it to get around the system wanting activating but overall pretty painless and the kids won't ruin my phone playing it now.
I'm in Seattle next to a tourist location and I'm amazed with the number of people I see playing this. Tonight when I went for a short walk for a smoke I ran across a group of 4 people in their 30's going around capturing Pokemon.

Fuckin' saw a Scyther within 2 footprints on the way home from the store, but couldn't pinpoint it. Scyther's my favorite.
Sad times.
And yeah, this game is something else. BF literally walked in the door from work and told me to get my pants on because we're going for a Pokemon drive.

Decade ago there weren't smart phones in 2/3 the population's pockets nor nearly the same infrastructure in place for this to be a thing. They could have definitely done an online pokemon game on pc that would have sold absolutely fuckloads, but this current shenanigan is entirely modern times dependent.

Sounds like you're at a loss in this if you live in smaller population centers/more rural areas? If it does indeed calculate things off mobile phone density.
Anyone in Minneapolis try this at Mall of America during a weekend/big sale? Big movie theater during a popular release? Theme park i.e. Disneyland/World?
