I suppose it could have different villages for different generations. Probably won't have the old game's maps: the maps in this game seem much more open, whereas the old games' maps teleport you from place to place so to speak.

It should be fairly easy to import monsters from Tri G, and there's monsters returning from even earlier... Tri G was also only on a 2 gig cart. It's possible that this game could have between fifty and sixty monsters, with more in a G version.
