>Triple/Rotation
how does it handle the framerate

>>31904872
Anon...

I don't really mind this kind of romhack but I wish it would focus less on being a hardcore experience. Not every single trainer in the entire game needs 6 EV trained monsters with top tier held items. You don't need to go so far in the opposite direction from GF's official game that a preschooler NPC has a better team in every conceivable way than the official game's champion.

>>31904872
I mean I'm pretty disappointed we went up a gen, and they didn't improve the graphics engine.

>>31904949
The point for is for it to be hard.

>>31904949
Well I'm not sure about this one but in his last hack there wasn't anything crazy early on, although the gym leaders were a bit ridiculous since all you have are shitmons.
And I think most trainers don't have fully EV trained pokemon, I remember being surprised at outspeeding things despite being underleveled at times. It's mostly Ace Trainers/Gym Leaders/other bosses that get full tryhard.

>>31904949
This is why I prefer Drayano's hacks, though his 6th gen one was easily his weakest.
I mean I like challenge but it's very annoying running back to the pokecenter after every battle. Ace Trainers and maybe the rich people class are fine, but not every one.

>>31905001
yeah but most of the time its ridiculously hard

>>31905068
Shut the fuck up pussy.

>>31904781
Thanks OP i was praying for this.
This guy makes better hack than dray in my opinion, so i really recommend it.

Stop doing this kind of thing in a romhack
It should be more progressive

>>31904781
Does it trim down on the cutscenes?

>>31905138
Scripting is not possible in the 3DS games yet and may never be

>>31905137

Yeah, if it was a really good romhack the final boss would have seven Pokémon

Everything you can catch in the "legit" version is legal for online use. That wouldn't be true if the encounter tables for island scan were changed.

>>31904781

IT's cool that this exists, but I personally don't really like being restricted (in the sense that I have to use a specific team comp to move forward) so I'll pass on this one. Imma wait for the Drayano Tier romhacks.

>>31905495

???

My team for Star Sapphire used a Delcatty

>>31905589

But you probably also had mons such as Garchomp and Chansey or whatever.

>>31905571
Always used my bro for every difficulty rom hack, and it's no different here.
Except if yours are shitmon like pichu or something.

Used everything pretty equally, with M-Beedrill a bit more than others because in-game tends to be easy with sweepers. You can use pretty much whatever you want in these games, it just might require fighting a few more wild pokemon or buying a few more revives. Also thinking through harder fights instead of facerolling.

Reporting to Nintendo and TPCi right now.

>>31904949
This, i wanted to play ORAS and use a mod to make it fun, people said rutile/star were the best mods, but i was really desmotivated after reading the description and seeing that the elite 4 had full teams of lvl 100 pokemon, trainers gave less money, items were more expensive and every trainer had a full team.
i wanted a fun experience, not a game that is gonna take me a month to advance from town to town

>>31905829
>Legit Build: All Wild Pokémon are 100% legit for trade and will not appear as "hacked" by any legitimacy testers. Island Scan Pokémon are available in the wild normally. Most nocturnal Pokémon are available in the day (rarer than they are at night, usually). The converse is true for diurnal Pokémon. Rare and interesting Pokémon have been moved into more common slots.
>Leveled Build (Recommended!): Wild Pokémon are the same as in the Legit Build, but are leveled up to keep pace with NS/UM's harsh level curve. A quick adjustment in PKHeX (editing Met Level) will make them 100% legit.
>Expanded Build: Wild Pokémon are altered so that every non-Legendary (Tapu/UB/Mythical Pokémon count as Legendary) species is available, at the same level as the Leveled Build. Legendary encounters are not changed in this or any Build. Click here to see where you can catch every Pokémon!

Oh the distro toolkit has a building for Citra

>>31906385
Trainers gave MORE money in ORAS and held items were AVAILABLE, not more expensive. Plus with the EXP share you got to Lv100 yourself before even beating Wallace.

>>31906385
>elite 4 had full teams of lvl 100
So will you, late game in SS/RR is way easier than the early/mid game.

>trainers gave less money
They give more money

>items were more expensive
Only revives and Full restores to prevent cheese in battle. It sells you sacred ash cheap in every mart. Potions are the same price (and all are available everywhere) and full heals are cheaper and everywhere. Balls and repels are basically free.

>every trainer had a full team
All gym leaders, most admin battles and ace trainers are guaranteed 6. Well there are certainly more full team trainers, especially as you go farther in, most random trainers still don't have full teams.

>>31906613
>Plus with the EXP share you got to Lv100 yourself before even beating Wallace.
If you did the additional grinding and abused Blissey bases otherwise you'd be at 50 - 60 or so.

>>31906835
by "additional grinding" do you mean "not skipping trainers on routes" because I was Lv100 for Wallace and never backtracked to the surf routes. Never did rematches either

>>31906835
Only in the base game. If trainer levels also keep pace you get more and more exp. to the point where you are lvl 100.

>>31906857
I mean rematches and using bases as well as wild pokemon grinding.
You won't reach 100 without it, even XY that had more trainers only got your main to about 70.

>>31906903
EXP Share and high-level opponents are a hell of a drug.

Luckily it doesn't seem to be pulling the 'random trainer has a legendary' bullshit this time round.

>>31907536
Doesn't need to. Effort Values exist on trainers so he doesn't need to compensate by giving high BST mons to everybody late-game.

cia leak when?

>>31908286
if you can play cias you can play the saltysd patches. Why download 4GB and wait to install it when you can just slap some files on your SD? just use FreeShop to get the games.

alright /vp/, how do i install this using a cartridge?
i'm retarded and I've never did any homebrew stuff

is there a way to save my legit save file I have before I apply the patch and start new?

If I play the expanded version and not the legit version, is there risk of getting banned if i wondertrade off non-legit pokes?

>>31910212
Hack your 3DS http://3ds.guide
If you're on 11.3 cry yourself to sleep
Then copy the "SaltySD" pack from OP onto your SD card and play your Sun/Moon cartridge like normal.

>>31910216
>save legit save file
JKSM as a cia or as a Homebrew Launcher app. Back up your save, then start over by holding X, Up, B on the title screen. Restore when done.
>expanded
It probably won't even let you wondertrade non-legit pokemon. No evidence that Nintendo is banning for attempting to trade hacked pokes, but you'd be functionally trading badly-hacked pokemon if you trade what comes in the wild in NS UM Expanded.

Is there a way to manually uninstall existing updates on my vanilla copy of moon before downloading the patch?

Or should I just reinstall it fresh?

>>31910241
thanks anon

Damn my 3DS broke like a week before he released this thing. I've been waiting for this for months. Someone please start uploading screenshots so I can experience it through you.

>>31910313
You need to have the update installed to play the SaltySD version of the hack (which is the best and easiest way to run it)

>>31904781
>no cutscene skip option

>>31910368
I agree with anon, I get ptsd just thinking about replaying the first parts of Sun it's such a drag.

>>31910368
Not currently possible

>>31910347
maybe I'm retarded but small caveat I'm having with the instructions

it says to copy and paste the contents into the root of the SD card

I have the zip downloaded, does it just want me to copy everything from the zip onto the SD card?

>>31906835
This is a rom hack
retard, you are around level 100 if you keep the multi exp on ,when you reach the elite 4 in the ORAS hack.

>>31910433

>>31910433
Yes. Everything from the 7z file gets copied directly onto your SD.

>>31908391
>where calling

So, you think you're in position to call someone out on wrong semantics?

>>31906393

>still can't catch Lunala and Buzzwole/Kartana in the same game

Dropped. Why does he keep doing this?

I'm thinking of Nuzlocking this. Am I insane? Is it possible? Or will I just get frustrated?

>>31910974
Because the games are about having difficulty, not catching all the pokemon. Having Legendaries would make the game too easy, and if you can play the game anyway you can just hack in those legendary pokemon you want.

>>31911028
Haven't played this yet, but I would definitely say his last hack, definitely impossible to Nuzlocke. I assume this one is the same.

>>31911028
pretty impossible since some of the teams are straight out of competitive. Making do with the first thing you find out of each route just isn't reasonable

>>31911029
Fair point. I'm still the "catch them all" guy so I'll probably wait for Drayano.

By "all non-legendary pokemon are available in the wild" is this just the alola dex or most of the 802 pokemon?

>>31911028
I am at the grand trial first island. I think looking by how it goes nuzlocke seem very hard

>>31911139
802 obviously.

As a nite some trainer have shiny pokemon, that pretty cool.

>>31910459
>>31910466
Not him but what would I have to do if I want to remove it? Simply deleting what I pasted on the SD?

>>31911247
On luma you can desactivate a certain option that won't apply the hack in game.

>>31911253
Oh right, that option is to activate/deactivate the mod. Thanks anon

Holy shit the top trainer from the route 3...

>>31910974
You can though
Cosmoem evolves into Lunala with a Moon Stone even in Sun Version

>>31911134
If having a ton of illegal legendaries collecting dust in your boxes, never to be transferred forward makes you happy, so be it.
If trivializing a challenge mode hack by stacking your team with ubers makes you happy, so be it

>>31911328
That's pretty cool.

Doesn't solve the UB issue but otherwise can do.

Anyone knows if the two missing UBs are at least available as pokedex entry?

>>31911357
If you really care so much about this, just get the distro pack and build a CIA. When it asks you if you want to randomize, say yes. Don't randomize anything, but open "Static Encounters" and turn a Celesteela encounter into a Kartana one / a Pheromosa one into a Buzzwole one. Finish up in PK3DS and then let the script finish building.

>>31905777

All I've wanted since the game's release, right here.

>>31904949
>>31904949

>>31904781
Meaning only hacked 3DS can play? Fuck man. I don't know how, even with tutorial, I'm bad. And I don't want to prop open my 3DS with screwdriver and such.

>>31912132
You should have hacked your 3DS ages ago, we warned you.

>>31912118
I will. Just deciding between expanded and leveled now.

Does anyone still have the CIA file for Sun? I only grabbed Moon a few months ago

>>31912192
Playing with expanded, i don't see the point of having less pokemon available.

>>31905571
I only play pokemon with shitty dudes because it's way too easy if you use a good team. As a general rule I aim for 450 bst or less.

>>31912262
only reason i can think of would be so anything you catch would be legal without having to fiddle around too much with pkhex, if one cares for such things

i did leveled, theres still some alola mons i didn't use last time through the game and if i really want something else i can just get it from bank

Can you make the male trainer look like a fuccboi in S/M? I did female last time and want a change, but I still only want to make characters that look like sluts, even when male.

>>31911334
I keep hacks for emu play. My only goal in this kind of hacks is getting a "all by myself" living dex, no trading, no shortcuts. And I'm karenfagging during the gameplay because I can. Your arguments are invalid.

>>31912488
I've seen a couple online.

>>31906779
But if the final boss is Level 100 that means I can't overlevel to crush him and have to rely on skill

Anybody played this? Is it Drayano-tier or is it fucking awful Rising Moon "Im making the first romhack so even if its shit people are going to think Im a pro hacker" tier?

>>31912588
His previous hack was better designed than drayano.
I am saying this enjoying blaze black 2 a lot.

So i am just 7 hours in and it's really good, there is another hack on S/M but nowhere near this level of details for editing.

>>31912642
Is it as hard as people say? I'm not a fan of all trainers having 6 Pokémon and such. I like challenge, but not wanting to desu my life.

>>31912653
All trainers don't have 6 pokemon.

>>31912653
Well it's designed for people who like challenge.

But difficulty wise it's harder than Dray hack, but not overkill where you have to grind like crazy or something.

>>31912642
How far in does 7 hours get you? That's just enough to get through the first cutscene, right?

>>31912690
second island, i haven't fight any captain of this island yet.

People don't get that this guy's hacks give the player a bunch of BUFFS to offset what looks like insurmountable enemy difficulty: access to competitive hold items, cheaper vitamins, sacred ash before every fight...

That could just be his PC being sucky.

Using EVs instead of high-BST legendaries means the difficulty curve will be a lot more natural and the Sun/Moon improvement of going back to the Gen V scaled EXP formula will mean skipping content won't fuck you up.

>>31913162
Probably so you don't have to farm them in the Battle Tree. Part of the "20XX Hack Pack" side of the rom, so you can get the stuff you need for competitive by playing the game instead of editing your save or grinding battle tree forever

>>31913072
Considering it's the 6 magikarp guy, they probably just did it as a joke.

How the fuck do you rebuild this as a CIA? DotNet3dsToolkit doesn't work, it says "file type mismatch" and a bunch of other errors after that. I tried it with 3dstool and makerom but it just gives me the 3ds error screen after launching it.

Maybe extracting with 3dstool and repacking with the toolkit might work but I haven't tried it.

Is the salty sd method slower than the .cia?

The Bounsweet before Brooklet Hill, it's literally in the trailer

Why the fuck do people EV train on a fucking romhack? You already have access to PKHex, just edit the fucking EVs in.

>>31923429
I suppose that would relegate the point though wouldn't it? Cheating in a Rom Hack specifically made to be hard

>>31923457
Is it cheating when it really changes nothing but slightly saves time? The dude put all the EV training spots at the beginning so they're easily used and found. EV increasing items are at the beginning too. All you're doing is cutting time

I personally ignore EVs in romhacks since the point is a challenge, but if you're gonna do it might as well just put the EVs on the pokemon with PKhex

>>31911028
Just dont

You run into 6mon teams with some wild moveset straight out the gate

2nd Skull encounter has a Forrest with gigs impact and a kricketune with fellow stinger, caught me by surprise. 1st Skull encounter had him open up with a Pineco that dropped rocks and promptly used explosion afterwards.

Enemy Mons have hold items early too. Fought a trainer with a Happini in the first graveyard with rocky helmet and metronome that triggered 3 fusion bolts in a row, then got a full restore when almost beat.

Some of the stuff seems screwy in this. I found a Makuhita on the route before the first trial. When I tried to catch another with a better nature, I didn't get shit for an hour until I looked up his location list for enhanced version, says Makuhita can't be found in the wild, only bred from Hariyama. The fuck?


I'm going to have fun with this, but not as a nuzlocke.

Expanded, reached the third island, i am making a break until night so i can do the rematch against the fire guy without going too far.

I prefer leveled

How about are hazards in this Mod?

Used from time to time, commom. uncommon?

That first encounter with sticky web and stealth rocks and sand storm struck fear into me ehen i played SS/RR ( enough to get an Espeon to balance hazards back and a spinner)

Expect them against strong trainer.
But rare overall.

I like how if you have shift mode on it only says "would you like to switch" instead of telling you the other guy's pokemon

Everytime I try to use JKSM on my Nova Sun save file I get a red screen. Not even disabling the option in Luma to turn off the patch helps.

Does anyone know why? Did anyone have problems with save editing in Nova Sun?

? these aren't my glasses

>Dio tells to not turn off exp share
>I beated Hala, going to rechallenge Ilima
>My team is 4 pokemons at level FUCKING 32 and a lv27 croconaw

What the hell is this shit. I didn't even grind at all, just catched everything I met and never skipped trainer. Am I going to meet a giant level spike soon or I got overlevelled without even trying?

Really? Illima remach is at level 20. Good thing I'm not going to catch shit, I just started the game.

I guess that the game is balanced on "the player has constantly 6 pokemons", because the other trainers used to be way ahead on me untill I decided to send all the useless mons in my team and just went forward with few pokemons. From there on I was ahead of levels and rolling through enemies.

I dont know but what I noticed in my first vanilla run of Sun (set, no exp share) is that catching pokemon was my biggest income of XP. So that may be the reason you're that ahead.
