ADV 50 is basically a hand-picked ADV metagame (chosen by myself, Cowboy Dan, IHLP, Sunny, and others). We chose to include and exclude tactics that we enjoy or dislike, and attempted to come up with a balanced and interesting metagame based on this idea!~

So this is a quirky idea I had but Cowboy Dan was supportive so we're gonna go for it! The idea is to hand-pick roughly 50 Pokemon in gen 3 and use that as the basis of a metagame, aiming to include strategies we enjoy, a balanced hazard game, nothing broken, and so on.
ADV is an awesome generation with a very nicely tuned power level kinda by default, but various things are frustrating in various tiers: hazards being too strong or too hard to fit, spinning too difficult, sand, sand veil, skarm the unkillable, arena trap, magnet pull, swagger, brightpowder, pursuit, and so on.
Obviously we can't kill all of the nuisances that ADV has and the game wouldn't be the same without them, but it'd be awesome to explore what a gen 3 metagame which is handpicked looks like, and then playing it, and getting a feel for a new and exciting custom metagame! So in this thread, we're gonna pick what Pokemon we want to have in it.
