The only problem with half the old monsters was that they were in fact old and their age was showing. Seriously. Gravios, blech. Khezu, boring. Kut-Ku, pathetic.

Now going back and revamping them could have been an option....but there is only so much you can do with an existing design. But making a new design roughly based on the old, with huge gameplay differences...now thats fun. Look what we got: Kut-ku: Quru Khezu: Gigginox Gravios: Uragaan/Agna.

I personally enjoy the new battles as compared to the old, stale ones. All of the 3rd gen monsters added odd gameplay twists and fun new challenges.
