    Idea is boudouche's from Smogon. However, he did DPP not ADV

    Art shamelessly used from the movie :]

    Introduction
    The Back to the Future Tournament is an ADV OU Tournament- with a twist :]. 3 Pokémon from Generations 4-6 will be selected and integrated into the ADV OU metagame! This tour will shake up the metagame and force players to adapt round by round for new threats while having fun with many new threats themselves.

    Rules

    Tier: Gen 3 OU (must be played under custom game)
    Best of 3 (Finals are bo3 as well)
    First week is 1 week long, subsequent rounds are 1 round as well

    ADV OU Banlist: Deoxys, Deoxys-A, Deoxys-D, Deoxys-S, Groudon, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Mew, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Wobbuffet

    I would also like to implement same time-zone bracketing that DSM01 implemented in his lopsided tour (If TDs are fine with this)

    Notes

    Remember moves such as Stealth Rock and Roost are not allowed due to them not existing in Gen 3!
    Here is a complete list: http://pokemondb.net/move/generation/4 <input 5 & 6 instead of 4 to see the other moves
    Remember the Physical/Special split occurred after Gen 3: Here is a list of which types are physical and which are special: http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/40995/what-types-in-gen-iii-are-physical-and-which-are-special

    I cannot approve a tour that is not possible to play on our associated sim.
    Without db mods it's not possible to use gen 4-6 mon without the Phys/Spec split on PO.

    I like the idea of the tour but I don't know if it's entirely possible. For example, you chose Gliscor to be on your team; since Gliscor was released 4th gen, it would put you in DPP instead of ADV. Consequently, the battle would be played in the DPP tier (or the latest tier to include all the Pokémon present). Thus, the battle will follow the mechanics of the tier it's played in, not ADV.

    Since I don't think it's possible, I'm going to reject 2/2
