Because of Capcom's blunder with not localising MHP3rd, expectations are low and people generally don't want to wait another 8-10 months for something that contains monsters they've been wanting for over a year now. Indeed, it would be a smart marketing decision to localise it - seeing as the 3DS currently lacks many 'hardcore' games. Sure, there's Super Mario 3D Land and LoZ: Ocarina of Time 3D, but compared to the amount of skill needed for MH and the challenge posed by G-Rank they don't come across as serious as MH does for a system like the 3DS.
