Namielle can’t swim (though maybe there is some lore saying it can’t).

Great Poogie can’t burrow despite literally every one of the Gale Force Porkers being shown burrowing.

Nargacuga and Tigrex can’t fly BUT SOMEHOW GRAVIOS CAN?! Gravios is literally so heavy that it can only fly to body slam, meanwhile Nargacuga and Tigrex have been shown many times being able to at least glide when they need to change zones.

RAKNA KADAKI CAN’T WALL CLIMB EVEN THOUGH IT IS LITERALLY A SPIDER.

I also need to ask HOW Dreadking has a blastblight in one of its moves, you know something Dreadking never had… BUT HELLBLADE GLAVENUS DOESN’T?! THAT’S LITERALLY HELLBLADE’S WHOLE GIMMICK IS THAT ITS TAIL HAS AN EXPLOSIVE MODE!

Also poor Brachydios living not just in the snow biome but on glaciers, surrounded by water. What did bro do to deserve this.

Yes yes Rathalos is Monhun’s pikachu but you want to know what Pokémon DOESN’T do? Lock pikachu in your team and give you no ability to remove it until the end of the game. It doesn’t help that you only actually NEED Ratha in 1-2 fights total in the story for a one off gimmick interaction with a boss.

What’s worse is that Ratha isn’t even a good monstie and is powercrept out by a good number of fire element monsties before you finish the story, the absolute evasion thing is the only unique element until you get access to Silverwind Nargacuga in the second area of the game 💀. It sucks extra hard because it’s generally convenient to have a monstie of each type for your team (fire, water, thunder, ice, dragon, non-element) so Ratha is eating up your fire slot unless you want to have to deal with the headache of swapping your team constantly when you have that one fight that just so happens to be weak to the one element you don’t have.

Oh and now that you actually finished the game, there’s next to nothing left to do with your free slot for your fire monstie, because the post game isn’t implemented yet.

Also also I already know that Stories 1 and 2 did the same thing, I’m not a tourist to the spinoffs, but just because the previous games did it, does not make it a good decision.

Stories 3 really just beat mainline in giving Seregios a subspecies.

Subnautica 2 carrying the tradition with perspective issues 😭
