The Fossil Pokemon are all available in a relatively small cavern where Giovanni has been hiding out, sort of like he hid out in a cave during the HGSS Celebi event. It's also where he got his Aerodactyl, though I can't see that coming up in-game. Everything else more-or-less follows BW's trend of ordering the Pokedex in the approximate order you encounter the Pokemon in the wild; notable head-locations were a volcano for Groudon, where Slugma through Durant would be found (with stuff like Houndour and Woobat being found earlier in the game, but stronger here outside the volcano base), an underwater cave for Kyogre where Frillish through Eelektross would be found, a rugged mountainous canyon area for Rufflet/Smoochum/Rhyhorn where Castform is found for whatever quest involves it, a creepy/abandoned house with Koffing/Litwick/Drilbur in it and Dunsparce/Nuzleaf/Murkrow/Stantler in the grass/woods around it, and another wooded area with more of a natural, untouched-by-man, mystical feeling, with Chatot/Zorua/Roselia/Yanma-Yanmega. Everything else is spread out intermittently more-or-less in the order it appears. Victory Road contains things from Riolu to Hydreigon, with other things like wild Swoobat and whatnot (Woobat in Victory Road never sat well with me).
I also don't remember why I thought a gift Clamperl was a good idea, since you'd have to trade with someone for the evolution to work anyway. Maybe it would be an in-game trade and you still got to pick which evolution it was.
So there's my huge thing sitting in a Notepad doc collecting virtual dust.
