NOTICE:

It has come to my attention that my old download links and instructions were within the gbatemp rules. I am not linking any actual roms, or full romfs files. I am only linking the individual edited files required to play Rising Sun & Waning Moon. If this is threatened to be taken down once more, I ask that mods first look and tell me why the Nova Sun/Umbra Moon mods do the same and have remained up.


Please ask if you want to upload this elsewhere, or at least give credit back to this post or my twitter.
Lets start off with some context. Currently, pk3DS allows us to edit the trainers and move sets of pokemon within Pokemon Sun and Moon. I decided to go ahead and create a challenge mode of sorts, similar to that of Pokemon Blaze Black/Volt White. Currently editing wild encounters!

Changes:
  • Trial Captains and Kahunas now all have teams of 6 Pokemon.
  • Level curve greatly changed. Team should be in high 70s/low 80s by the end of the elite 4.
  • Trainers have Pokemon not usually seen in Alola.
  • Movesets of weaker Pokemon is finished.
  • Youngster Joey has a top percent Rattata.
  • Wild encounters up until the post game are finished! Have fun everyone!
  • Custom music for post game returning trainers.
  • Almost every Pokemon has access to their hidden ability.

A NOTE ABOUT INSTRUCTIONS:
THE EASIEST METHOD IS GETTING A CFW, DO IT WHILE YOU CAN.
Instructions: (CFW Required for this method. See other method below if you don't have a CFW) I also still need to make the method easier for Pokemon Sun users, sorry!

THINGS YOU NEED:
- Latest nightly build of luma. (Get this through the .cia updater)
- The hack's GARC files (the stuff that actually overwrites the original assets) Get it from the Google Drive link

New and Updated Instructions! About time!

Luma Game Patcher Method:
    • Create a folder named titles inside luma.
    • Create a folder with the game's title id as the name (0004000000164800 for Sun, 0004000000175E00 for Moon) inside titles.
  • Create a folder titled romfs within luma/titles/(titleID)
  • Place the "a" and "data" folders within the "romfs" folder.
  • Make sure "Enable Game Patcher" is checked in luma3ds setup.
  • Start Sun/Moon
Thats it! Easiest way to tell if its working is by starting a new game or checking your Trainer Passport.

FOR POKEMON SUN USERS: RENAME THE "3" FILE IN a\0\8\ TO "2"

Layeredfs: (These instructions only apply if you use the Layeredfs files)

The LayeredFS feature allows you to replace RomFS files with files on the SD card for most games. To use it:
  • Create a folder named titles inside luma.
  • Create a folder with the game's title id as the name (0004000000164800 for Sun, 0004000000175E00 for Moon) inside titles.
  • Create a folder called romfs in the game's folder.
  • Place the "a" and "data" folders within the "romfs" folder.
  • For example, to use LayeredFS with Pokémon™ Sun, make a folder named romfs , put your replacement files in it, then put romfs in 0004000000164800.
FOR POKEMON SUN USERS: RENAME THE "3" FILE IN a\0\8\ TO "2"

Todo:
  • Re balance according to feedback.
  • Re balance Pokemon move sets and stats once tools are available.
  • Add in last few Pokemon. (Some starters, legendaries, etc.)
  • Finish documentation on the various changes.

Credits:
  • Creators of the tools pk3DS, extract repack, etc.
  • Drayano, for being a cool guy that's better at hacking than I am
Sellout:
I'm a filthy sellout. Follow me on twitter to know when major updates for the romhack come out. https://twitter.com/KobeRobsahm

i have both
Ok, here it is, I tested both layeredfs plugins, and they both work.

For usage, the folders are easy actually, just drag and drop both folders in the zip on the root of your sd, and for romhack usage,
sd/Pokemon/Sun/
sd/Pokemon/Moon/

Just think of the Sun/Moon folders as the romfs folder and put everything inside the same way you would in the romfs folders.
@Kobazco feel free to put this in the OP.

Okay, but instead of all this recompiling and HANS bullshit, can someone just upload the .CIA version *somewhere* for the rest of us?
I would make a patch, but I don't have access to CFW or a rom for Pokemon Moon. Hans is the only way I've ever been able to do it lol.

Ah, well thanks for all your hard work. Hopefully someone can compile a working .CIA soon. :yay3ds:

I'm actually surprised I was able to do all of this only through HANS with not much trouble on my own. Nothing ever crashed for me actually lol. But yeah, if I could find out how to use the patch feature of pk3DS I would be able to provide one.

HANS can use code.bin changes right?

Why not just use saltysd?

Recompiling a 3GB romfs for every small change sounds like a massive pain in the ass.

Can't you just make an xDelta patch? I've done it with NDS ROM hacks, not sure howe to do it with .cia or .3DS (Or even romfs)

Does saltysd only require homebrew access? Because thats all I got sadly.

Maybe? I could attempt to do something like that later on tonight.

Salty SD is just a code.bin patch, and IIRC HANS can load code.bin patches, so if you could build SaltySD on your code.bin it should be infinitely easier than rebuilding the romfs.

Also another question, I know we can't change overworld NPC models at the moment, but what about names of in battle trainers?
I managed to change overworld name and text, and even in battle model and and trainer/theme, but the in battle name won't change despite me having changed it in pk3DS, unless I'm simply missing a file that I am not copying over;

Nah, Luma3DS just enables you to do it without HANS.
Oh I see what you mean. I can make it faster through Salty SD and run it through HANS then? I'll give it shot sometime tonight I'm still trying to beat the elite 4 of this lol. Wiped the first time to Acerola.

Well, I've just beaten the Elite 4. And with that I'm going to upload a new patch in just a few minutes here. The only change is that the Elite 4 and Champion's teams have been brought down about 4 or so levels.

Name tip: Rising Sun
Actually the name I was going to go with. Put it on my twitter and everything but didn't update the Master Post it Seems.

Also if a mod or somebody can see this, how do I rename the title of this post if possible. If not possible for me, can a mod rename it to Pokemon Rising Sun and Waning Moon?
