not really Banned...

I think 3rd gen was kinda like the 1st one: the very first game, that's not too big in terms of content, but extremely difficult to solo, then a Portable/Freedom game with subspecies for the monsters in the first game and some new monsters and the last one takes everything from the previous two games adds a little more to the story and is full of content.

I could imagine, that 4th gen will follow 2nd gen in that matter: the first one takes a lot of stuff from the previous gen, adds very few new monsters and introduces new weapon classes and gameplay elements. I guess we'll see a game with a whole new setting and lots of subs (maybe even a Frontier monster again, but I think that's pretty unliky) and the G game just takes everything from all the previous games lol
