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:
I'm a filthy sellout. Follow me on twitter to know when major updates for the romhack come out. https://twitter.com/KobeRobsahm

 

[Kobazco]

Some of the text has errors in it.

Are you referring to some of the route/location names? Or just grammar errors some places? I know that a bunch of the route names have an extra symbol after them.

 

[PraiseKek]

grammar errors.

 

[Kobazco]

grammar errors.

Yeah that was bound to happen. Can you tell me where these happen so I can fix them?

 

[PraiseKek]

Sure, I don't have the hack but if you post pictures, I can point it out.

 

[Kobazco]

Small quality of life update. v.0.5.1 (Will display as v0.5 on Trainer Passport)

Changelog:

• Cynthia's theme has been replaced with her theme from Black and White 2.
• Colress's theme has been replaced with a remix :
  Spoiler
• Red and Blue's battle theme has been replaced by the Pokemon World Championship theme :
  Spoiler

These changes are included in the GARC files, so just update those. All music is located in the "data" folder alongside the "a" folder.

 

[Kobazco]

Whew! Here's v0.6, a huge update! I'm going to sleep after this, and can answer all questions in about 7-8 hours!

Changelog:

• Its time. Wild encounters are now being edited!
• Route 1 finished editing (Except for Tauros only area)
• Outskirts finished editing
• Trainer school finished editing

As of now, only these areas have custom wild encounters. These encounters are for both day and night, as well as their SOS Pokemon! Have fun everyone! I won't be able to provide info on what Pokemon just yet, give me some time. Instead, go be surprised by what is in it!

IMPORTANT

For Pokemon Sun users, rename "3" in a\0\8\3 to "2" and tell me what happens. It seems encdata might be different between the 2 versions.

The trainer school doesn't have any Pokémon in it. Hau'oli Outskirts though, does! Just found a Purrloin.

So you mean no new pokemon in the trainer school? Do you have sun or moon.

Moon, I walked in the tall grass for a while (a minute or more) and no Pokémon at all appeared, as if the encounters were disabled. I made sure I wasn't unlucky and tried several times.

 

[Queen of SoS]

Does anyone know how to use this with the no outline code.ips every time i use both it deletes your romhack

Screenshot please?

 

[RustInPeace]

I'm too sleep deprived to read the whole thread, so I don't know if this was asked before. How could one edit wild encounters themselves and use saltysd to implement the edits?

 

[AlphaSapphire]

FINALLY GOT IT WORKING

 

[doudou1408]

@Kobazco : You are fu**ing awesome man ! Thanks for your work

 

[PraiseKek]

Oh, and for the legendaries, you should put them in the post-game, like Resolution Cave or something

 

[Blue]

@Kobazko Someone with CFW can easily make a banner for you http://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-custom-banner-video-tutorial.451861/
And for the custom title screen maybe ask someone who worked on a Gen 6 romhack
@Asia81 ?

 

[Cha0tic]

Sick this is what sun and moon need. Especially the difficult rise. I called it though in a thread I made that around a month or so time well start seeing something like this. Said this back a few weeks ago.

The Pokemon caught are fine for online?

No, the movesets are changed and pokemon that do not usually appear in alola are in the game invalidating the encounter "met location" but not many changes were added to the pokemon yet so it should be fine for a few early releases.

So as of now mainly the trainers and difficulty increased?

Yeah but more pokemon will be changed soon. If you check OP Butterfree now has a new moveset.
