Duplicate Comments in Teams Files

Make it so that the teams files which can be imported into PS support some comment syntax so that people can add text that will not be interpreted and that the importer will not choke on.

This would be useful for documenting why teams are the way they are, for example, to document the purpose of very specific EV spreads. Sometimes I see people sharing old teams while saying they forgot what the EVs are for. With this system things like that could be avoided.

For an Adv200 example, if "#" is used to start line comments:
Code:
Magneton @ Magnet
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 220 SpA / 36 SpD / 252 Spe #Survives HP Fire from Modest 252 SpA Magneton
IVs: 31 HP / 31 Atk / 31 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 31 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power #HP Ground because HP Fire lowers Speed
- Thunder Wave
- Toxic
That would make it easy to remember what those 36 SpD EVs are for and why it uses HP Ground instead of HP Fire.

This would mainly be for people who use a text file as their "master file" and PS as a secondary team store.
