The Guide now knows every repeatable Gen 2 encounter source

The GUIDE tab now covers fishing with every Rod, active swarms, common and rare Headbutt trees, Rock Smash encounters, the active Bug-Catching Contest and roaming Pokémon. Entries follow the current map, sub-area, time period and active world state, so unavailable encounters no longer look obtainable where the player is standing.

Roaming Pokémon appear only while they are currently on the same eligible land map. Scripted one-off and story encounters remain outside the route guide because their availability depends on permanent event flags rather than a repeatable encounter table.

Crystal beta recognition

The new upstream Pokémon Crystal beta is recognized as CR on the Silph Link startup screen and uses Kanto Gear's shared Gen 2 compatibility path. Gold and Silver remain the fully tested Gen 2 targets while Crystal playthrough testing continues.

German and Spanish language packs now include the new encounter-method labels.

No new setup is required. Import kanto_gear-2.5.0.zip over your current Kanto Gear installation.
