Changing your character model in Pokemon Sun/Moon

[Hide]

I have seen several treads which discuss modifying the main character's model. Most of them revolve around editing textures, changing parts of the model and so on...

Two of the topics I remember are swapping the female protagonist's model for Crystal's in OR/AS, the other is editing May.

When It comes to moon/sun, I see people struggling with the fact that the main character models are broken in pieces (it probably happens in x/y as well); preventing you from replacing the main characters with (for example) NPCs right away.

So, if you want to play with say… Gladio, the “boldest” suggestions imply you should take his model and break it, to let the game splice it as you replace the main character's parts with Gladio’s. I haven’t seen anybody playing with him or other NPCs, so I guess that’s a lot of work for most people.

But what about hex editing? Has anybody here explored that field?

Maybe it is possible to modify the game (or a save) and make the relevant code replace the main character’s models with an NPC’s (or in other words, call an NPC model).

There was something like this in Soul Calibur IV, for the XBOX/PS: SC4ccedit.

Any ideas?
