How come some trainers in the games/series have legendaries?

Sep. 23, 2013

Like I think in the Sinnoh series, I think one guy has a Darkrai, and also in Pokemon Platinum the Tower Tycoon has a Regigigas. I thought there was only one of each. But even if there aren’t one of each, why do they make a big deal of them in the movies?

There is only one of each legendary that the player can catch in each game to avoid a player having too many legendarys and making legendary Pokemon somewhat rare.

However, in the anime it has been shown that multiple legendarys exist such as the episode where there is a whole field of Shaymin. Also, characters in the anime often say things such as:“Hey, it’saManaphy!“instead of :“Hey, it’s Manaphy!“This implies that there is more than one Manaphy.(not real quotes)

The reason that they make a big deal of legendarys in the movies because if they were weak the movies would be boring and no one would watch them = no money made.
