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

in case you don't already know you can go online with the romhack btw. So technically you can trade for the litten or get lucky on wondertrade. I've gotten like 3 popplio's from wondertrade personally.

I play this romhack on citra 3ds emulator,no chance to online at all at this moment,i think i will wait creator to make update later on,since now i want to catch Gen 1 - Gen 6 mons first by the time i am waiting...

oh yeah never mind then. I don't know realistically how it'd work but maybe that sumohax plugin could somehow work for citra to let you battle a wild litten? Though at that point I guess ya may as well pkhex your save and stuff.

no the one he provided
Did he ever provide a romfs.bin or do you mean the .romfs file because again, afaik .romfs isn't used to be edited by pk3ds

Yup,i can just use pkhex and wild modifier code to get Litten but doing so is meaningless ,i prefer to get one on the wild in custom location :) ,You know Hackrom has already been unlock all the things ,why we still need pkhex to unlock the stuffs again?:yay:

For sun you have to change a/0/8 theres a file named 3 in that folder change it to 2 for pokemon sun.

What seems to be is they use the same data except the wild encounter name is s different for sun so it has to be renamed to its proper name.

Haven't personally tried it but that may work.

Out of curiosity, how does the encounter editing work anyways, you said you have to manually edit every single patch of grass?
Yeah since in Pokemon Sun/Moon some patches of grass have different Pokemon or levels... RARELY. However because they wanted to do this in places like route 1, EVERY PATCH OF GRASS has 2 tables for itself. One for day and one for night. So most routes usually have about 16+ tables to edit and most of them just have the exact same Pokemon. And you can't copy paste the tables

damn man, that's a lot of effort I guess I'll just patiently wait for this romhack to be completed as that sounds like a whole ordeal to go through rather than being patient. Thanks man
