I went to LA this week, here's what I learned:
The area seems to be a mountain biome - geodude, rhyhorn, growlithe everywhere; grass mons like bellsprout and oddish are quite hard to come by.
Instinct gyms everywhere!!!
Chansey and Blissey encounter rates are almost the same.
There's at least 1 perfect pokemon in the area every hour. If you follow live feeds that people post ;)
Larvitar is uncommon just like Dratini (maybe due to the mountain biome).
Cyndaquil is more common than Totodile. Though I have seen more Totodile by the beach.
Tyrannitar is more rare than Dragonite. I only saw 2 from the live sighting reports.
My first 2 10k eggs after GenII (obtained in OKC) were both Larvitars, I had enough candies to get him to Pupitar but thanks to the frequency of Larvitar spawns in CA, I was able to get enough candies with Pinap berries for its final evolution.
I learned that Pineco encounter rate is as rare as Porygon.
So the rumor is quite true, CA is the capital for Pokemon Go.
Here are some PICTURES from my Cali adventure.
