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

Has it been updated?

Didn't make any new additions to the wild pokemon from the last patch. But all routes are changed so it should be fine? The existing one should be fine :/

So,it means beta 2.0 basically had been finished edited all trainers in this hack and missing wild pokemon maybe will added into future beta 2.++? What is your plan ?

 

[X Virus]

@Kobazco , we need to copy everything inside the beta 2.0 GARC files to build a working beta 2.0 Waning Moon ?How about i just copy the 3 trainer files of beta 2.0 and then paste at my beta 1.5 romfs folder?(since you just edit the trainer in beta 2.0 right........?), i do not want to messed up my beta rom,it is because everytime i copy everything inside the newly updated beta GARC files to rebuild the rom,an unknowm error will occur with my DotNetToolkit 3DS ,i really don't understand why,but whenever i just copy paste the folder "a" files which you told me on page 37 ,i had not encounter that unknown error at all

 

[prady]

hi, is there a way to make it to .CIA?

 

[Rakidas]

Lol ditto

 

[jpmasterflex]

So when i installed this, by extracting the files from the game and then replacing with your files, i noticed that On the trainer passport it still said v1.5. Since this was 2.0 version i almost thought it didn't work, so i tried editing the text myself with pk3ds, but then when i did that and rebuilt the rom, i think i messed up something because now it wont load period...

 

[rpga200]

Install the luma follow the steps of the guide but for some reason do not apply the randomized changes to my pokemon moon downloaded from the eshop perhaps only serves with the cias not legitimate that if the codebin of textures and without lines

 

[X Virus]

Can anyone tell me which trainers using legendaries in pokemon battle in this beta 2.0 Waning Moon ? i want to know their location (which route,which islands,which buildings..)

 

[Bedant]

Le me: starts the game with rowlet
Le Youngster Joey sends out a ratatta
Le me: i got this in the bag
Le Youngster Joeys ratatta: uses FLAMEWHEEL
Le me: well played Kobazco....well played indeed.

hi, is there a way to make it to .CIA?

Yes just follow Asia81's guide to extract decrypt and rebuild a cia file and you need a decrypted sun or moon cia file in order to do this and the rest should be simple if you want I could just make it for you

[SahierKHLover]

Hey dude is it possible for me to get a hold of it too? I would be forever in your debt

 

[Kobazco]

Hey guys a small question. Did anyone get the saltySD method to work with Sun?

 

[CypherEnigma]

Hey guys a small question. Did anyone get the saltySD method to work with Sun?

I did it with moon yesterday, I will try with Sun tomorrow.

Edit: JK I can't sleep so I did it right now. I put a Salty SD patched Sun code.bin into luma/titles/etc and it showed 1.5 and then I put a SciresM patched code.bin into the directory and it didn't load the patch. Let me know if there's more I can do to help, I had a SciresM code.bin on hand so I figured that'd be the easiest way for me to test it.

I used the Salty SD IPS patch from here rather than the SaltySD GitHub and I didn't amend the GARC files to change it fully over to Sun since I've been doing my playthrough on Moon.
