Kanto Gear could show a black screen when used with Mutant Monster Lab. An optimization introduced in 3.2.3 assumed every map's landmark reference was a number; the Lab's custom maps use named IDs such as LANDMARK_SPECIAL, which caused Gear's location lookup to fail while drawing.
Gear now accepts both numeric references and named landmark IDs. Unknown IDs no longer crash the lookup. This is a general compatibility fix for other map mods using the same format; Mutant Monster Lab needs no changes.
The reported setup has confirmed the fix. Automated validation reproduces the drawing failure with 3.2.4 and passes with the fix while loading the unchanged Lab mod, alongside the location and Stamps regression checks for all six games.
This release keeps 3.2.4's animations; the animation refinements remain in testing.
