That's not true:

MH Freedom is the localized version of MH Portable (yeah, it's practically the same as MHG but the portable version was released in Japan before)

MHF2 isn't MH2 but a later game (MHP2nd)

MHP3rd didn't make it over in any form.

In the end:

First Gen: First and third game of three.

Second Gen: Second and third game of three.

Third Gen: First and third game of three.

You see no regularity in this.but that the third always gets released.
