Do Midis of the Kikuchi score exist?

I've found a bunch of opening/ending midis, but none of the actual BGM. I was hoping it exists, I was gonna test more Pokémon soundfonts on them, haha.

Apart from the main themes I've not really found many - and the ones I have came across haven't been particularly accurate. I wanted to find a few to use as a rough reference for a musical analysis I was writing earlier in the year (as an academic paper), but in the end I just dedicated a couple of days to sitting down and transposing the pieces I wanted to analyse myself.

That was what I assumed, but nice to have a confirmation. I'd transpose it myself, but I know nothing of composing/transposing (or reading Sheet music well, know some basic things - from the years I was in Choir in High School. Seem to have a good ear for music and pitch. But, not enough to help, wish I was a better vocalist too, haha.) I know what a lot of the Kikuchi BGM sounds like by heart but I could not put it together in a file. I've come across some that were decent (had to search in Japanese), never was a able to find a concrete midi file (or at least the link to it), closest were YouTube videos showing the piece being played through Synthesia.
