Do the Pokemon you put in Pokemon Dream World, affect the Dream World in any way?

I put Shuppet in Pokemon Dream World for two days in a row and got a lot of Spooky Manor maps and played a lot of Blow Out Candles on both days.

But today I put Shuckle in and I got 90% Rugged Mountain, with at least 13 Collect Gems.
