So Essentials is only for people who use Pokemon resources since they wouldn't be able to earn money from copyrighted material anyway, then? I could've understood if the deal was that all your game scripts and coding would've been needed to be open sourced or something, but if you desire to make an original game and already from the beginning be aware that not even user donations are on the table then I can't see many non-programmers would bother using this.
