What changed
- Kanto Gear now exposes its own interface text through Gen1Recomp's public
translation registry, including Tools actions, badges, battle move types and
other compact UI labels. - The move information panel now provides concise details for every original
Gen 1 move instead of leaving many effects unexplained. - Translated labels in the loading overlay, Local legend, Guide and Area rows
are constrained to their actual layout fields. - The optional Kanto Gear Deutsch 0.1.0 language pack translates 248
Kanto Gear strings. It does not translate the base game. - A small language-pack template is included in the repository so other
languages can reuse the same public interface without modifying Kanto Gear.

Import Kanto Gear through MODS → Import mod .zip. Import the German ZIP as
a second mod if wanted. A separate game translation is still required for
German dialogue and original game menus.
Tested
- The exact packaged source passed 356/356 Kanto Gear compatibility checks,
248 translation catalog checks and 3/3 language-pack integration
checks. - Both ZIPs passed strict Gen1Recomp Modkit validation, including manifest,
cross-reference and no-ROM-content gates. - Archive IDs, versions, engine ranges, file inventories and every packaged
source hash were verified after extraction. - The same Kanto Gear runtime and German catalog were confirmed on an AYN Thor.
The final release-only changes are version and repository metadata.
Updating from 1.7.1
Replace Kanto Gear with kanto_gear-1.7.2.zip. Existing settings remain
compatible. The German language pack is completely optional.
This remains an unofficial Android public test release. Keep an exported save
backup. No ROM, ROM-extracted asset or game data is included.
