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

how do the AI values work in this? how high can it go?
The highest I've seen is 87, which is on the champion, kahunas etc.

Changelog:
  • Edited AI values for bosses. (Rivals, Kahunas, etc.)
  • Fixed some broken trainer's movesets/pokemon

You should probably include xdelta patch files for people who might want to install the entire thing as a .cia, but I'm not sure really anyone wants to do that other than, like, two other people and me.

What's the direction you want to go with this? I'm honestly really interested to see exactly where this goes as you continue working on it.

I actually quite literally just managed to get CFW set up on the latest update etc. I'll work towards making a .cia this weekend.

I imagine a cia should be the last thing that's bothered with right now as you'd have to reinstall it every update. Maybe it'd make sense when it's at its final stage. Honestly the luma method has literally zero downsides though. It even works on o3ds. and if you can install a cia you can easily use the luma method.

Figures, figures. As to my latter message? Do you plan to stop with just improving the curve of the game's levels and difficulty + availability of species of Pokemon, or do you plan to go farther?

...did you add all the Pokemon you put into different places to the Alolan Pokedex?

I plan to flesh out the game more. Right now its in a beta state for a reason. I still have a bunch more move sets to go through, and there are still some of the 802 Pokemon left for me to add to the wild. Also, I don't think its possible to add Pokemon to the Alolan Pokedex lol

Nothing is impossible! MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

I'm sure it's possible somehow, it's just that figuring out how it works would be an asston of work. If you ever run out of things to do with the mod, consider messing with the dex, I guess.

So when checking enable game patching in luma3ds, it says something called an archive patch is needed. Anyone know what this is?
