Pokémon XD: Altars of the Sunne and Moone ROM Description

Pokémon fans looking for a new challenge should check out the hacks Pokémon XD – Altar of the Sunne and Pokémon XD – Altar of the Moone. These hacks take place in an altered Alola region featuring over 400 Pokémon, including many that can Mega Evolve.

In this version of Alola, all trainers utilize double battles to showcase their teams. The moves learned by some Pokémon have also changed to better suit the double battle format. New abilities have been discovered too. The available TMs have different effects now to keep veterans on their toes. Work Up becomes Helping Hand and Fling is replaced with Icy Wind, for example.

While the basic plot of Pokémon Sun and Moon serves as a foundation, it has been expanded upon to fully incorporate Mega Evolution and double battles. Mega Stones can be found both in the wilderness and shops. Researchers have determined that the new Pokémon seen throughout the various routes are capable of Mega Evolution as well.

Team Skull is up to no good as usual, but this time they wield strange and twisted Pokémon. Shadow Pokémon also roam the region, adding another layer of challenge. A full list of all 400+ Pokémon discovered so far can be accessed at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SRpaXYiyHbNncnujp4MtpyJIEnpNSIzd/view?usp=drivesdk for planning teams.

Two known bugs were reported. Catching a Pokémon right away on Route 1 is recommended to avoid a crash in double battles with only one Pokémon. A save editor may also need to be used to activate Mega Evolution early since it normally becomes available post-game. Help on doing this can be found at https://youtu.be/eq_Tw9x9yB8. Pre-activated save files are also provided for those unable to edit their saves. Visual glitches may occur in one-on-one battles too.

Overall, these hacks breathe new life into the Alola region with double battles, Mega Evolution, and hundreds of Pokémon. For fans looking for an enhanced Pokémon adventure, I highly recommend downloading these hacks from ROMsdl.NET, a reliable site to find free, high-quality ROM files to play on emulators. The abundance of new features in these hacks is sure to provide dozens of extra hours of gameplay.
