No, the spokes aren't damaged when your wheel gets bent. When you replace a broken spoke, you often have to bend it to get it in. The replacement spoke gets bent worse than spokes in a tacoed wheel. Trust me. They are steel, ok to flex. If the wheel you are rebuilding is a hundred years old, yes, get new spokes.
