ROM hack of: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon (3DS)



Pokémon Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon are mods for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Like my Rutile Ruby & Star Sapphire hacks and my Nova Sun & Umbra Moon hacks, their main purpose is to provide a more challenging game experience while not artificially limiting the player. The premier feature of Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon is the ground-up redesign of Pokémon Trainers in the world to increase the game's challenge. Every trainer in the game has been edited, and the level curve expects use of the Experience Share, which means that the player levels up very quickly. Every Pokémon in Trainers' teams has a a proper moveset and many are holding items. The Elite Four and Champion are Level 100, and the player doesn't need to grind to equal that!

Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon's secondary focus is inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee's "20XX Hack Pack" which is designed to improve competitive players' ability to practice and grind. In Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon's Legit Build, everything obtainable is 100% legal and legitimate for real online battles or trades. In all Builds, some features are designed to make preparing competitive teams much less of a hassle. Competitive hold items are much more available, a 6IV Ditto is available through an in-game trade (holding a Destiny Knot), Eggs hatch in one cycle, and Level 100 Memento Blissey battles are available in the Battle Buffet once the main story has been beaten.​

Information about this project has been moved to my WordPress.​

First of all, thanks for the amazing work you've done, and for sharing it with us.

I would like to ask about a problem I'm facing.

I've been trying to install the Supernova Sun mod on my 3ds, and I cannot make it work so far.

I downloaded pokemon Ultra Sun from Freeshop, updated via Freeshop, and then followed the recommended procedure, the drag & drop one.

I copy-pasted the luma folder from the extended version into the root of my SD card, and then opened b9s to enable game patching.

After all the steps, when my 3ds opens, the menu tile where the Ultra Sun was supposed to be is just blank, and I only have the "Create folder" option.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? I am at 11.6.0-39 and latest Luma.

Amazing mod! Love the 1-100 climb.
Are the post game trainers in the mod already? I see you will be a trainer! Are you all in Poni Island? Can we rebattle you? If not, can you set change that?

Every single trainer in the game has been updated. He's still at Poni Gauntlet just like he was in NSUM. Can't rebattle him though

can i ask some questions? im new tho this whole think about mods on pkmn but i want to try it with bigger dificult.

1- I read somthing about the "MegaEvolution" is not in the game w/o save editing?

that means if i dont plant to save editing the game i wont have the megas? if i plan to play in the legit version.

2- The legit version has the same wild life as the original version but with the daytime changed? or there are more pkmns to encounter like all of them or there are version limitations and stuff?

3- Is worth to play the Legit Build from the start or is better to play the Expanded one and only use the legit one as you said in the first post just for endgame proposes?

sorry my incompetence, and forgive my english since im not native to that language.
have a good day.

I don't have the answers to all your questions, but if you want the best way to play this romhack use the expanded or leveled versions, whichever depending on your preference of how many pokemon you want available in the wild.

And your english is pretty good for a second language, better than most people here. Don't be hard on yourself

 

[sergislabgg]

gotcha, I will try with the expanded one.

anyone has a clue about the megaEvolutions? cuz im not used to save editing and stuff like that and i dont plan to edit anything at all

 

[Dio Vento]

I'd recommend not save editing. You won't be able to use Mega Evolution during the main game, but the game is also balanced around you not having this ability.

How's the neater list of encounters coming along?

 

[giagos_drakos]

Hi again!

Sorry if this is a silly question, it's only the first time I have used this mod.

I am at the Melemele Islands, at the Melemele Meadow where Lillie lost Nebby yet again. Everything is fine and all, but Nebby is nowhere. I have seen in YouTube videos where it is supposed to be, but it's not there.

Is there any chance it's a bug or similar?

Even if you are already playing I hope I can answer you questions.

1. Mega Evolution is only available after a battle on Poni Island. Because I´m not so far into the game I can´t really tell you when this battle is exacly happening.

"The ability to use Mega Evolution is independent of the "Key Stone" item and is only set by triggering a flag in the save file after the battle with Dexio on Poni Island."​

2. The Legit Version is the same as the original exacly but you can find nightpokemon during daytime and vica-versa. The Leveled build contains the same Pokémon but with higher levels to meet the harder level curve. And the expanded build provides additional pokemon on every route.

3. If you want to experience the "clean" USUM gameplay I woud recommend the leveled build so you have all the Pokémon available wich were meant by the developers. If you want to have access to all 800 Pokémon you should choose the expanded build.

Hey Dio , i am experiencing a little bug in SuperNova Sun Legit Build, which I installed using the Drag and Drop method. The bug is that everytime I enter or get out from a house or Pokemon Center or places like that, the game frozes for like 1 or 2 seconds

Sounds like you have a slow or old SD card.
