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 tried this out.

Running extended code with luma
- Download the luma nightly release and update ur luma (just overwrite ur old armloaderhax.bin with the new one in the download)
- Create folders called SD:\\luma\titles\0004000000175E00\
- paste code.ips
- create folder called SD:\\SaltySD\sunmoon\ and place the "a" folder from the GARCS.zip in there.


Checked my trainer passport and it does not say what you said it should say The adventure started thing on Pokemon sun

Thanks for the answers.

Ok, then i will wait until someone manages to create a .cia.

I got a question:

I followed your guide (got a n3ds with newest Luma) and replaced the arm9loader thing with the Nightly Luma file and i did the following:

Running extended code with luma
- Download the luma nightly release and update ur luma (just overwrite ur old armloaderhax.bin with the new one in the download)
- Create folders called SD:\\luma\titles\0004000000175E00\
- paste code.ips
- create folder called SD:\\SaltySD\sunmoon\ and place the "a" folder from the GARCS.zip in there.

And that should be it! Easiest way to tell if the romhack is working is by checking your trainer passport. It should say: Adventure started on v0.5

This only works for Luma3DS of course, not HANS. Plus, you can combine this with other IPS patches such as Instant Text Speed, No Outlines, SciresM's QR code patch, etc.

But how can i play the game now? Have i done something wrong?

The folder in luma\titles will be named differently for pokemon sun. I do not know the title Id for sun. Sorry.

Sorry man, I don't have luma3ds. I don't know where you could go wrong. Try doing it again, make sure you have patching enabled I think it was?

Lol my issue is this saltySD I have no idea how to enable or that I needed it. I thought I was just creating a folder for it.

Did

You not put the garc files in the saltysd folder?

Yes I did that, I enabled patching. I have the saltysd folder I created with sunmoon in it.

In luma I made titles and then the folder with title id and dropped the .ips patch in there.

Hold SELECT while turning your 3DS on and make sure the option in Luma to enable game patching is checked.

Make sure the TitleID folder is in all caps. No lower case letters.

Make sure the directory for SaltySD is SD:\SaltySD\SunMoon\ <-- Notice the capital S and M.

Ok thanks man.

So i do not need to download ANYTHING else beside the things from the OP (GARC/patch folder) and i have to create the folders on my SD card, enable patching in Luma and check if folders are correct?

I have got the following folders:

"SaltySD\SunMoon"
"luma\titles\0004000000175E00"

Is anything wrong with these?

And then i just start the .cia/.3ds/cartridge like i would do when i normally want to play the game?
