Did you cheat, grief or troll?

  I am putting a strong assumption that he has the same problem that a large chunk of players like myself have called 'ruralistis' or 'farmlandempti' where if you aren't in a large city or on a coast, your pokemon spawns for the first 8 months of the game were limited to pidgeys and rattatta and once in a blue moon there might be something amazingly rare like a Weedle, because our town data wasn't in the data source they used to calculate biomes. Many player have noticed this and have been updating openstreetmaps.org data in hopes that Niantic does a biome refresh and that OSM is actually where they are sourcing their data from.

    "updating" OSM = creating parks and rivers where they don't exist. It's an annoyance for OSM maintainers, there's a Slack channel that specifically flags things that look like they might be Pokemon Go users adding bogus features.

  No. I open the app every day for 45-60 minutes when I go for a daily walk, no funny business.
