Kanto Gear 2.3.1 — A Real Catch
Kanto Gear 2.3.1 — A Real Catch
A tiny visual inconsistency survived all the way into the Guide: Gen 1 wrote
CAUGHT, while Gen 2 drew a homemade Poké Ball that did not look much like a
Poké Ball. This patch gives both generations the real thing.
The Guide uses actual Poké Ball art
- Caught Pokémon now use each generation's canonical, ROM-provided Poké Ball
graphic in both Gen 1 and Gen 2. - The handmade substitute has been removed completely.
- If the host cannot load the appropriate graphic, Kanto Gear safely falls
back to the translatedCAUGHTlabel instead of drawing a broken icon or
failing the screen.
Nothing else in display, battle or input behavior changed.
