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

2.2 should have encounter mods and base stat mods. Do you think you could make a mod that ONLY buffs opponent pokemon levels, ev, ivs, pokemon count and movesets? I'd rather not have buffed pokes like, changing a gigavolts speed to like, base 80 or 90. I'm just looking for trainers to have more pokemon, at higher levels, all perfect IVs, EV trained, with better movesets. Having access to battle royale items would be nice (like macho brace, focus band, heart scale, for purchase in marts, if possible). Considering those things I want, is there a certain version I should use, instead of the most recent version @Kobazco

@CrystalDialga you need to have sent 10 messages before you can send a PM
Ah. Okay.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'm going to attempt to try and get it to work. I'm probably going to end up restarting everything.
edit: I'm still having the problem where it goes back to Homebrew. It's either something wrong with HANS, or with the code.

Excuse me, I've gotten Pokemon Rising sun to work. The problem is that I can't find a No lines mod download that works compatible for this game, I've tried like 4 downloads, even the 1.1 patch downloads, which makes the game unloadable. anyone could help me?

I dunno where to post "issues" but here's two I'v noticed so far

  • One of the Skull Grunts on Poni Island before entering Poni Canyon has a Gengar with Levitate. Gengar's ability was changed to Cursed Body in SuMo and its the only ability Gengar gets.
  • The Skull Grunt before second Guzma fight in Aether Paradise still had high 40s mons when the one before him had high 50s. This was on earlier version (Updated few hours ago) so it might be fixed now.
Amazing mod or whatever by the way.

If you're using the HANS method, you can't get it, but if you got it with CFW, I believe you can.

I'm using the CFW method. I can't combine the .bins or .ips together because the no lines mod i can only find are only compatible with the 1.1 version. It either makes it unable to load or it'll make the 3ds say "an error has occured" and not load the game at all. I hope this romhack gets updated to 1.1 so I can use the no lines mod.

Oh, okay. Also, since the HANS method wasn't working for me, I'm trying to get CFW on my 3ds, but when I try to get SafeA9LH, it says:
Error: payload_stage1.bin doesn't exist or exceeds max size
Press any button to shutdown
I have payload_stage1.bin on my SD card.
