Thanks. I'm going to try my luck one weekend at the shopping and rec area near my husband's office. His coworkers reported some good Pokemon there. I would have thought Pokemon would be more widely distributed but that's definitely not been my experience.Nope. you should be able to see the same Pokemon as the person w higher levels. I would consider using something like go radar app or similar to see where the better Pokemon are located in your area. Where I live only the historic area which has like hundred poke stops and lots of player where one can find a lot of different ones. Close to home you can find some but it's far and between those pushers and rattatas.
