Pokémon Sun and Moon features the quest of Lillie trying to keep Nebby in that bag and regain her confidence after a fateful childhood. Well, there's also a little sidequest where you catch Pokémon and beat trainers and become the champion of Alola, but that isn't too notable.

Unused Area

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

There is an unused golf area that was cut from the game late in development. It is fully textured but inaccessible. Notably, the final member of the Elite Four is Kahili, who is the only member not introduced in the game previously. She likely would have served as the trial captain of the golf course, bringing the total trials in the game to eight (mirroring the eight gyms of all previous generations).

Unused Graphics

rgba8.ctpk

A map of Earth. This texture seems to originate from Microsoft's DirectX SDK sample programs.

Unused Models

Placeholder Character Models

The first two files in "a/1/9/6" contain this cube model. The skeleton suggests it was meant to test player movement or animation during the initial phase of development.

Unused Items

To do: Can we make the descriptions of the unused Z-Crystals less stale?

Pikashunium Z

File:Pokemon-Sun-Moon-Pikashunium-Z-Sprite.png
This Z-Crystal is to be used for a Pikachu wearing a cap. It can be used if the Pikachu knows Thunderbolt. It triggers the move 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.

Mewnium Z

File:Pokemon-Sun-Moon-Mewnium-Z-Sprite.png
This Z-Crystal will be used for the Mythical Pokémon Mew. It can only be used if Mew knows Psychic. It triggers the move Genesis Supernova.

Marshadownium Z

File:Pokemon-Sun-Moon-Marshadium-Z-Sprite.png
This Z-Crystal will be used for the Mythical Pokémon Marshadow. It can only be used if Marshadow knows Spectral Thief. It triggers the move Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike.

Unused Audio

To do: Rip the sound and upload it here, and check the X/Y sound leftovers. Also, see if there is more unused stuff.

me_nj_test13

A copy of me_nj_item except the last note is held for a second longer.

me_xy_o_power

300px Since the PSS (Player Search System) was removed here, the O-Power System was also removed, so this sound goes unused.

bgm_xy_vs_secret_01

As in Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , a remix of the "Battle! VS Champion" theme from Red and Blue is included to be used in the finals of the Pokémon Video Game World Championships tournament. It is identical to the one in X and Y.

Debugging Files

To do: FieldDebug.cro and SeqEditor.cro do seem to have some level of functionality, check what they do and if it is possible to force the game to load them.

Just like in Pokémon X and Y, there are leftover debugging-related CROs (the 3DS equivalent of a DLL). Unfortunately, the majority of them are useless, since the game does not load them at all and they are also stubbed, only having the basic CRO loading code, leaving only their filename for you to guess their purpose.

A leftover from the GAMEFREAK Archiver. To put it simply, this .gaix file is a C header that links the original file names to the GARC index; those headers are then meant to be included in the code and are used to access the files in the .garc file.
