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

So two questions: you mention a Google Drive link. Where is it?

Also, say I want to edit my rom myself, what program/s do I need and where would I find it/them?

Mine is working but it's slightly frustrating that I can't find any new Wild Pokemon. I caught a Yungoos on Route 1 and it has Adaptability (Hidden) and my Popplio has it's hidden ability too. Plus my trainer passport saying Adventure Started on v2.2... all points to it working correctly.

However, when I first got to route 1 I ran into a Starley but after 2 hours of running around no new encounters have shown up, only Pikipek, Yungoos and Caterpie. I can't be his unlucky can I?

is there a way to play rising sun but also do the outline fix?

Not with the method everyone's forced to use, I don't think so? I know there's a way when it's running as a cia but not sure about HANS/Patches. Maybe try the Sun/Moon NTR CFW if you have a new3ds and see if the outline fix code works there?

Same here, passport is on 2.2. Catch a Starley and then.... nothing; just the legit pokemon. What's the problem?

Never mind I got it work(I just needed to delete the 1.1 update). By the way, how do trade evolutions work in this game, do we
evolve them in game,or do we remove the patches, trade and then evolve them?

It's illegal to link them. Also all editibg tools are PK3DS, Ohana3DS abd GARCTool.

I could get it being against the site rules, but illegal is a bit of a stretch. That being said, I guess I can spend my days off on Google hoping to find the files.

As for the editing tools themselves, is it legal to link those?

They're copyrighted so they're illegal. The only reason it's against the site, is because it's illegal.

Has anyone got waning moon working on Luma 3ds? If so can I get a pic of your SD directories? I want to make sure mine match because I've been troubleshooting for 2 hours to no success
