>>37982409I think I answered this sort of question. I live on east coast of the US, very close to NYC. There'd be some decent water mons, mostly crabs, frogs, and rare turtle like pokemon. We're known for having catfish in some areas
(common: Krabby, Poliwag, Psyduck, Ducklett)
(very rare: Squirtle, Turtwig, Froakie, Corphish, Whiscash)
Lots of birds, off the top of my head the most notable are robins and cardinals, and the very rare raccoon in parks. Tons of squirrels If I were to travel a little, there'd be a lot of deer, gophers are fairly common too. Also, a lot of stray cats.
(Common: Meowth, Purrloin, Fletchling, Pidgey, Pachirisu, Deerling)
(Uncommon: Patrat, Pikachu)
(Rare: Zigzagoon)
Also a lot of power plants and chemical plants, so electric and poison would be common.
(Common: Shinx, Magnemite, Elekid, Voltorb)
(Uncommon: Grimer)
(Rare: Pikachu)
There are also parts of where I live that have actual farms with farm animals like what you'd expect, chickens, cows, pigs, sheep, horses.
(uncommon: Miltank, Mareep, Mudsbray, Spoink)
(extremely rare: Torchic, Tepig, Tauros)
Very popular spot for migrating birds. Bald eagles have even been spotted here, though the usual suspects are Canada geese and seagulls
(common: Wingull)
(uncommon: Swanna)
(rare: Braviary)
In that case, realistically speaking, seeing as I'm usually pretty busy (meaning I can't have rare mons), have younger siblings (can't have overly aggressive/dangerous mons), and can't really afford to deal with mons that require a lot of upkeep, I'd probably only have these mons:
Shinx: docile, loyal, great companion, independent cuz it's a cat
Pidgey and Fletchling: having birds is always nice as they're singing and flitting around plus relatively easy to care for
Poliwag: cute frog mon that'd be pretty common and Poliwhirl is one of my all time favorite mons
Pachirisu: this one is maybe, since squirrels are super hyper and probably wouldn't fit in well with a cat like Shinx.
