How do I read this map
I have made an assumption that each type of common Pokemon can spawn within some area. These areas are colored with the same colors that this chart shows. There is also a label in the middle of the bounding box of the area showing the type of Pokemon for that area.
Exceptions to the color chart:
- Black color represents areas that do not match any query.
- White color represents area for "natural"="wood" which seems to contain Grass, Bug, Poison and Flying types. This color does not have a label.
In addition to spawn areas I have assumed that rare Pokemon can spawn at specific spots. You can see a small image of the Pokemon that might spawn at that specific spot.
Problems
- There are areas within an area and when multiple colors mix you might not see correct colors. Labels help a bit but not always.
- Labels are centered to center of bounding box. So for example if you have L shaped area the label appears outside of the area.
