ROM hack of: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon (3DS)



Pokémon Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon are mods for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Like my Rutile Ruby & Star Sapphire hacks and my Nova Sun & Umbra Moon hacks, their main purpose is to provide a more challenging game experience while not artificially limiting the player. The premier feature of Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon is the ground-up redesign of Pokémon Trainers in the world to increase the game's challenge. Every trainer in the game has been edited, and the level curve expects use of the Experience Share, which means that the player levels up very quickly. Every Pokémon in Trainers' teams has a a proper moveset and many are holding items. The Elite Four and Champion are Level 100, and the player doesn't need to grind to equal that!

Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon's secondary focus is inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee's "20XX Hack Pack" which is designed to improve competitive players' ability to practice and grind. In Supernova Sun and Penumbra Moon's Legit Build, everything obtainable is 100% legal and legitimate for real online battles or trades. In all Builds, some features are designed to make preparing competitive teams much less of a hassle. Competitive hold items are much more available, a 6IV Ditto is available through an in-game trade (holding a Destiny Knot), Eggs hatch in one cycle, and Level 100 Memento Blissey battles are available in the Battle Buffet once the main story has been beaten.​

Information about this project has been moved to my WordPress.​

If you want to use legendaries (besides the million ones that Ultra SM already offer in the late game) on your team, go play someone else's hack. I consider it game-breaking and immersion-breaking, and I value that over people wanting to use legendaries on their team.
Wild Legendaries in the grass are in the same boat as BST changes, retyping, and Ability changes: Not going to happen in my main design philosophy for ROM hacks.

Thing is there are no alternatives to getting these legendary/event pokemon if you are a kind of guy who wants to catch them alll... which is what pokemon is all about no..?

And that's why I have an "Expanded" Build, not an "807" or "Catch 'em All" Build.

I noticed some of the questions here (shop freeze, Legendaries) are addressed in the FAQ for Nova Sun and Umbra Moon, so I have now added an FAQ/Troubleshooting section to the second post of this thread.

lol it looks like dio is already about to pull his or her hair out lol

Not really. Some questions are frustrating because, like, read, but mostly I'm just glad people are interested in my hacks and I've been enjoying watching the download counter tick up.

 

[danver]

lol ill bet you have dio, but in my experience people don't read fine print they see shiny goodies and that's all they see tbh.

And that's okay in most cases. It's why I spent 30 hours making a video trailer, and why I pepper the OP with screenshots and pretty pictures.

*whistles* damn that's a lot of time i bow to thee good sir. Also will you be making a evaluation guide as well

Video editing takes time, man. The whole ROM hack takes a lot of time if you care about polish as much as I do.

 

[danver]

wow also if you haven't seen my edit will you be making a evaluation guide as well

 

[Dio Vento]

I have no idea what an "Evaluation Guide" is.

 

[danver]

nvm i was not looking at the first page all the way my bad lol

 

[Dio Vento]

Oh sorry i meant by evaluation guide when a pokemon persay gubben's second evolved form will evolve into vikavolt

Weren't you the one making fun of people for not reading the documentation? That's in the OP and also included as a text file in the downloads.

Thank you for these.

I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but on Supernova Sun, Totem Gumshoes is unchanged from vanilla US. He's still level 12 and all the mons he calls in are also that weak. So he was a total pushover. I'm assuming that was something that slipped by you considering the trailer?

Are you sure you still had the game patched? I'd rather avoid the 1st trial until this is fixed if it's true.

Yes I'm sure man. Lol I had to play all the way there in the first place. Everything else is proper, only the Totem battle is still vanilla. Ultra Moon is probably working as intended, if what I'm assuming is correct

Also, I'm using the Luma method for the patch, Expanded build

Alright just got there myself. You're right, it isn't changed, he must have forgot. Not trying to say I didn't believe you or anything btw just that Dio usually extensively tests his hacks so I was surprised he would miss something as important as a trial.

I just checked this, it should work fine and be Level 24. Possibly a bad download or corrupted file in Supernova Sun Expanded. However, in checking, I noticed a new feature in PK3DS that actually lets you add EVs to Totems, so I tweaked the totems. Apparently Game Freak really held back on a lot of them, giving them -Attack natures! Go ahead and re-download now, v1.0.1 should make Totems even better than v1.0.0. And I made sure that v1.0.1 has definitely for sure edited Totem Gumshoos. Thanks for the heads up!

Wew, I was just about to ask why Totem Raticate and the trial Rattatas were so weak. I guess Filezilla corrupted some files during the transfer. Also nice a new update already, thanks for the dedication!
