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

Got it to work. What are you working on now?

 

[Kobazco]

Got it to work. What are you working on now?

Going to perform for schools concert rn but will work on 3rd island when I get home.

 

[Bidoofguy]

Just a minor glitch, but Abra evolves at level 0 instead of level 16.

 

[Cha0tic]

For the updates we just have to replace the "a" folder with the new one?

 

[Purple_Heart]

i installed the hack for both (layeredFS)
but i dont think it is patched.
doesnt look like in screenshots (in language selection it doesnt say Rising Sun and Waning Moon)
looks like normal game.

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

for the garc files (i am using layeredfs) is it
rootSD/Pokemon/Sun
or
rootSD/Sun

Backpacker Kiana has the first 3 Eeveelutions, but they have Eevium Z. Eevium Z only works for Eevee, so I suggest changing them to Waterium, Firium, and Electrium.

@Kobazco You back yet? I would suggest adding Charmander to Wela Volcano Park as a 1%

Yeah I just got back. I'm exhausted though. I'll finish up at least Lush Jungle tonight since I forgot about it.

 

[Purple_Heart]

[PraiseKek]

Sorry for bugging you lol, but when do you think the Third Island will be finished?

 

[Kobazco]

Hey guys, would anyone be interested in making a video tutorial? I would like to make one... But my voice is less than appealing to the masses who would watch it.

Ah sorry I didn't respond. Give 3rd island 2 days at most. I'm unsure as of now.

can anyone who has successfully gotten this to work via luma tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've been trying multiple times but haven't gotten it to load.

have the 'a' and "data" folder from the garc zip in SD:/SaltySD/sunmoon
have the code.ips in SD:\luma\titles\0004000000175E00\
updated luma to version 6.6 using aurorawright release GitHub
plug in ocarina of time load oothax to get to homebrew channel and hold select when loading luma to enable extendedcode and saved it
plug and load pkmn moon and check my trainer id to see that nothing has changed

thanks in advance

Hey dude I thought I was doing it wrong as well but for some reason the trainer ID nothing changes. But it does work, go to route 1 if you find starleys, sentrets, zigzagzoon it working. And if the first trainer you battle if their rattata is level 5 its working.

• All trades that don't require items evolve at level 36.
• All trades that require items you can use their items. If this doesn't work I'll make it so you can level them up while holding that item.
• Shelmet and Karrablast evolve by having the other one in the party.

Let me know if I forgot any.

Do the other text related changes work for you guys or none at all?

[PraiseKek]

@Kobazco Can I suggest something? Could you put Charmander as a 1% in Wela, and Bulbasaur as a 1% in Lush Jungle?
