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:

Just a question to clarify -- the "Adventure started on v1.5" text in the Trainer Passport does not actually mean it is on 1.5, and that it just hasn't been updated in v2.0, correct?
Yeah its fine. If it says 1.5 its on the correct version I haven't fixed that sorry

I don't know how to currently make it compatible with 1.1. I'll look into it but the easiest way to play this rom hack would to either launch it through HANS or unistall the update by deleting the update's ticket or some other method. HANS actually launches the game without any of the updates in place.

how would I go about uninstalling the update? removing the update ticket, where would it be on the sd card?

Just uninstall the update through the normal way you remove games and programs on the 3ds.

-System Settings
-Data management
-Nintendo 3ds
-Downloadable content
-Delete pokemon S/M update accordingly.

I have a problem with Sun, but not Moon. Sun doesn't seem to be working. I dumped my cart as cia, extracted, added the patched files (changed 3 to 2), patched code.bin, built it again as a cia, but no luck. Kukui isnt welcoming me to Rising Sun and my passport doesn't say it's version anywhere. I do not have any Sun updates installed. Moon however, and before the patch, works alright, but I uninstalled anyway as I want to particularly play Sun. Is this a problem with just the text text strings or what? Can you double-check, OP? Or someone else that has the Rising Sun version?

Thats because the code.ips wont work with sun. I only found out recently. There should also be a code.bin in the google drive. Its named some long ass name telling you to rename it to code.bin. Put that code.bin inside of the sun's titleID folder and it should work.

Issue still stands, for some reason. Am I the only one? Can someone else confirm Rising Sun is working for them?

Hey, what's the latest version of the hack/ what are you still working on? I'm holding off on grabbing it until there's a definitive version of it
