HOMEBREW INSTALLATION: http://smealum.github.io/3ds/

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

I'm a filthy sellout. Follow me on twitter to know when major updates for the romhack come out. https://twitter.com/KobeRobsahm

Oh I just remembered this @Aqib Ali . You can build your own romfs with the pk3ds version provided in my google drive. Its part of the main link in the original post.

@Kobazco Just noticed the reference with Celebi summoning Dusknoir and Grovyle. Nice touch.
Yeah. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky is one of my favorite games. The feels though.
Thanks got it. Aqib Ali

I have no decrypted and extracted a .3ds. Can i now just use the GARC Files from the hack and replace them within the extracted files, then rebuild them and convert to .cia? Following this guide:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-decrypt-extract-rebuild-a-cia.388677/

Go ahead and try that and let us know what happens. Nobody has really gotten it to work yet.

I created the .cia and now it is installing.

I have no clue why no method works for me (SaltySD or the second method =/)

It just does not start.

Hopefully this is working right now with a .cia.

Can anyone help me get this working on Citra? I just broke my New 3ds trying to update Luma to get this working. It cannot detect the SD card anymore and won't turn on. Im very sad since I only got it to play Sun and Moon romhacks, only for it to die so close to Canaan. At least there's Citra.

Even considering sending it in for repairs; not sure what their stance on cfw is.

First update of 1.0! Here come v1.1!

Changelog:
  • Almost every Pokemon that is catchable throughout the game has their hidden ability available! (Some Pokemon didn't receive their hidden ability based on their current abilities/hidden ability. Also some Pokemon with abilities like Keen Eye had that replaced for the hidden ability.)
  • Volbeat and Illusime are now Bug/Fairy
  • Stantler is now Normal/Psychic
  • Hoothoot and Noctowl are now Flying/Psychic
  • Many Gen 5 Pokemon that evolved at levels 40+ (Mienfoo etc) have had their evolution levels lowered to be in the 30s
  • Some Gen 1 Pokemon (Slowpoke, Grimer) have had level up evolutions to reducewd to 34 and 32 respectively
  • Pumpaboo now evolves through friendship
  • Nidoqueen's hidden ability replaced with Queenly Majesty
  • Vespiquen now gets Pressure/Queenly Majesty
  • Slakoth and Salking now have a chance to get Comatose instead of Truant
I probably missed a change or two, but these are the most important/notable ones! Have fun everyone.

Not yet I think. There are still some Pokemon I'm missing most likely. For the most part you should be able to catch most of them though.

@Aqib Ali Got a Rising Sun title for you as well.

For the gen 7 starters, it would be interesting to put them in the first route and make Kukui say something along the lines of "The other pokemon seemed to have escaped. They might be nearby."

That way if a player chooses to, they could "start" with all 3 starters.

Just a small patch, no official number.

Changelog:
  • Finished the rest of the Post Game trainers.
  • Finished a few of the Champion title defense battles.
  • Finished the Elite 4 rematch.
  • Made Colress's battle more difficult on the 2nd island.
