Well, suppose they were, then also like in Black and White, you couldn't use them to restore PP.
I've actually observed this project for a few years, only now I decided to register. I remember how inspiring it was for me to go make my own pokemon game, until I realized how much work it is. I made it in Game Maker, which now I'm fluent in, but sadly the only other languages I'm fluent in are French and HTML.
But of course, if there's anything I can help with, I'll probably be up for it.
