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

The more difficult this hack gets the more exp you get and the more overleveled you can be.

I will note that sometimes difficulty amounts less to what you have to fight and what you have to use.

People want difficulty so give Colress a Reshiram and Zekrom at level 100 at route 1

@Kobazco , beta v1.4 related to which files in GARC file ?

@Kobazco , beta v1.4 related to which files in GARC file ?

Uhh almost all of them kind of hard to say since I fixed a bunch of evolutions and some movesets as well as editing trainers.

If it wasnt in the patch notes, its not in the game.

Boss,are you a College's IT student ?

Hahaha no. I'm just a highschool senior

 

[darklordrs]

IMO you should probably avoid throwing starters out into easily accessible territory. Extremely rare if anything.

starters are seemingly 1%-5% so I'd say they're pretty rare personally.

Sorry again for disturbing Boss

In Beta 1.4 , i can get Typhlosion but i still cannot get shedninja ,i had empty 1 slot for it in my party but i still cannot get it at level 20, did you really tested it in the case of shedninja? ACtually i do not copy everything in GARC file bcoz if i copy everything to build the rom it will not working (blackscreen),but if i getting Typlhosion then it means i had use/apply the evolution file of beta v1.4 with right way ....i just don't understand ,any idea?

 

[BelmontSlayer]

Upon starting a new game, Professor Kukui will welcome you to Rising Sun or Waning Moon depending on which version of the game you have.

Can I ask you where you found that text to edit? I've been having trouble locating it. :/

Great job on the romhack btw! I'm working on my own, but it will probably be awhile before it's out because I'm always busy.

 

[PR3D4TOR]

Did they only have 1 pokemon each

No, they had 3 i think. More than 1 in any case.

 

[Alanzxc]

A rom hack so quickly wow... will be expecting the completed version soon

 

[raulpica]

@Kobazco
Sharing files, modified or not, from the original ROM is utterly forbidden by the GBAtemp rules.

You can only offer delta patches (IPS, xdelta, etc, plenty of formats available - just pick your favorites) if you want the links to stay on here. Thanks.

Boss,is there any cheat code to catch trainer's pokemon in Pokemon sun and moon? There are a lot of good pokemon using by the trainer in this hackrom and i can't wait to catch them

 

[Queen of SoS]

Hahaha no. I'm just a highschool senior

I guess you'll have to upload your romhack to somewhere else. I suggest making a tumblr or something.

Only works on Gateway. The NTR plugin crashes the game. So you may need to find different offsets.

 

[Banamy]

I;m attempting to make a cia. Probably wont work, just an fyi. Won't be posted here obviously.
