If Pokemon replaced the wildlife they're based on, what team would you have from where you grew up?

I don't think there is any that is specifically based off of a coyote, but in the larger category of while dogs you have Poochyena and Lucario
There's no goose pokemon, so if there was, there'd be a lot in my area.
But, my city has Bats, Bears, Birds, Geese, Coyotes, Deer, Fox, Groundhogs, Rabbits, Raccoons, Skunk, Squirrels and Waterfowl. And we're close enough to the great lakes that most freshwater pokemon would be there and seagulls.
So, Squirtle for sure, maybe a Pikachu or a Magnemite, there's a major power plant nearby so that's in. A Stunky would be pretty damn common, so I'd probably take one of those. find a Houndour breeder, get one of those, and it's the forest city, so I could probably get a Phantump, already live next to a graveyard with a forest attached to it. Head on down to a quarry and get a rock type, Probably a Geodude.
So,
Squirtle, Magnemite, Stunky, Houndour, Phantump, Geodude.
Or if it was 1:1 animal swap
Turtwig, Pikachu, Stunky, Stantler, Hoothoot, Magikarp.

I'm a few hours away from the Arctic circle, so...
Vulpix - red fox/arctic fox.
Alolan Golem - people look like this pretty often, and there's a lot of mining going on.
Murkrow - Huge ravens everywhere. There are no crows, but Murkrow fits best.
Stantler - caribou/moose, I know both are based on deer, but there aren't any better-fitting Pokemon.
Snover - Boreal forests. It's like, all there is.
Beartic - Polar bears show up for a few months a year.

I'd have a pet Eevee! There'd be a bunch of Deerling which sucks but w/e. There's a bunch of Pichu in the field behind my house. Pachirisu are all over too. So Eevee, Deerling, Pikachu, Pachirisu, maybe a Beedrill.
I'll add to the Texas list with stuff like Ekans. I also get a fair amount of Wasps around here for I like to think Beedrill would be common in this part. ALSO ive seen slugs a lot recently so maybe a southern version of Gastrodon? Would give us Texans a water type. Also it's cliche but I have a lot of people riding horses around me so Ponyta/Rapidash i could see.

For the purpose of this, think of it more like all wildlife gets replaced with whatever their closest pokemon is, rather than everything that isn't also a pokemon just vanishing. So geese would be replace with Swanna rather than there just being no geese.
And including non-wildlife things based on your location like ghost pokemon and pokemon based on manmade objects is 100% okay.
I'd have a Pachirisu, an Emolga, a Sentret, a Zigzagoon, a Stantler (*shudders*), and a Murkrow.
I grew up in the sticks, so I wouldn't have anything particular interesting.

The Pidgey family isn't based off of pigeons, guys. Pidgey are sparrows, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot are eagles.
I'm from Texas, so since Unova is the United States region, I'll choose to limit what Pokemon I would find in Texas to Gen 5.
So my team would probably be something like:
Vullaby/Mandibuzz
The Stoutland line
Woobat/Swoobat (probably caught during the Congress Bridge bat emergence in Austin)
Maractus
Sawsbuck
And then I dunno. Braviary just to nail in the "'murica fuck yeah" crowd, I suppose.

I grew up near Florida swamps soooo...
Yes there are wild monkeys in Florida for some reason

I grew up in Maryland, so I imagine I'd have these:
Turtwig (terapin)
Crawdaunt (crawfish)
And some theoretical Pokemon based off of an Oriole

Where I live (in my neighborhood specifically), would essentially be a bird town.
Name a Pokemon that flies and there is a high probability that it would be here or at least pass through occasionally.
pigeons, parrots, toucans (during spring and summer), egrets, vultures, hawks, chickens, ducks, and what have you. The exceptions being, unfortunately, the lack of crows and owls
Also worth of note:
Frequently: many insects, fish (there is a lake nearby), dogs, cats, mouse/rats, frogs, bats, possums, geckos, cows, horse.
rare/semi rare: deers, snakes, little monkeys, squirrels, and very recently, right down my street a beautiful capybara.
Now, if we extend to the entirety of Brazil, then the diversity of Pokemans increase a thousandfold.

This is London alright!Pidgey and Rattata sum up London quite well.
I moved from where I grew up(was in Saudi) so I could have technically added grass types, but I'll leave it as is.
Texas is a big and diverse state. Lots of biodiversity. Stuff you see in south Texas you wouldn't see in North Texas. And plus are you limiting it to just the major cities or small towns?
South Texas especially near the border you seen like 5 different regions of Pokemon in one area lol
Oh, this is fun!
So I have a very elegant cat,
Delcaty
a German shepherd dog,
Lycanroc
and a river turtle at my family house:
Blastoise
My father grows hens and I got in a fight with the rooster a couple of times so
Blaziken
The forest is just less than 1 km away and I use to go every Autumn to pick wild chestnuts
Chesnaught
And the village is full of sparrows so
Spearow

I'm from North Carolina, the only place in the world where Venus fly traps grow natively.
Carnivine is all mine!

According to this, you have everything from foxes and coyotes to deers and seals!
https://www.nycgovparks.org/programs/wildlife-management/calendar
But even if you've never seen any of these in your area, surely you must at least see squirrels often? Bats? Spiders? Insects?
I used to have a venus flytrap! I loved it and pampered it with the appropriate soil, distilled water, etc. It grew so much I had to transplant it, it lasted a few years.
Its demise was cat-related, but indirectly: the only room in the house with a windowsill where it could get direct sunlight is the room we started using to quarantine street cats until testing, so opening that window daily to water it became too risky. If I ever move into a house where I could have one safely without it becoming cat food, I'd love to have another one.
Well given I'm a french northerner that would mean any Pokémon from X and Y that are endemic/exclusive to the north part of the X / Y map ...
I didn't play X / Y ( and still have to finish my save of the first gen pokémon games )
But given that X/ Y are based on France , yep pick anything that is up north in the game and that would be my team.

Whatever that koala Pokemon is called, I'd pretty much have those and little else. Is there a possum Pokemon yet?
Haha I know, it was a bit of hyperbole. We have tons of different animals here, especially in The Bronx. But I mean, even the caves in Pokemon are only remembered for their Zubats lol
