About this game
Pokémon Nova Sun and Umbra Moon are mods for Pokémon Sun and Moon.
Like my Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire hacks, their main purpose is to provide a more challenging game experience while not artificially limiting the player.

The premier feature of Nova Sun and Umbra 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 hold item and a proper moveset.
The end-game of the main story features trainers with Levels in the mid-nineties.
Nova Sun and Umbra Moon’s secondary focus is inspired by Super Smash Bros.
Melee’s “20XX Hack Pack” which enables features for competitive players to practice and grind.
In Nova Sun and Umbra 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.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks Pokemon Sun for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pokemon Sun to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2016.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Pokemon Sun, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
