The original poster put focus on the legendaries Ho-Oh and Lugia fromGoldandSilver, Groudon and Kyogre fromPokemon RubyandSapphire, and finally, Dialga and Palkia from Diamond and Pearl. Many fans were likely disappointed at the absence of the other legendary Pokemon in the original poster’s video. However, given the sheer number of legendaries found across the manyPokemongames, it would likely be difficult to fit them all into one short TikTok video.
Nevertheless, fans should not worry as TikTok user blackkyurem700_2.0 labeled thePokemonvideo with the words “Part 1.” This may indicate that they have every intention to upload more footage featuring the other legendary Pokemon that can be found withinSwordandShield. That is, if they are actually able to catch all of the legendaries across both game versions, and within the several expansion passes. With the amount of content to get through within the game, it may be a while until another video is shared with the community.
