-Which generation has the best roster of subspecies?

I personally think that frontier has the best because the sub-species are in most cases very different then the original monsters and they also have birlliant color schemes (though some I must say are very lazy) and also a couple of new moves that look good can't say for playability because I dun have Frontier :/

-The worst?

2nd gen was the worst for me though they did look good the copper blangonga made no sense to me at all as to how it would happen yes I know some may say a long evolutionary path but meh doesn't comprendo to me. Also they don't have really anything different. Maybe longer attack range or more health maybe a move if they were lucky. Not overall impressive

-Which is the best subspecies of them all?

Again one I have not played but I have watched multiple videos of it the best by far has to be Ancient rathian. To make it short. She turns in to a badass here XD. Almost all the moves are completely different the the original or other rath variants. It looks absolutely amazing and it is just a boss.

-The worst?

The worst has got to be either green Plesioth or Purple Gypceros. Just pointless no new nothing except for color and they pretty much are just as annoying as the regular monsters :) with more health >.<

-Do you hope Monster Hunter 4 features subspecies?

I think that Subsepcies ad a lot to the game though they may be new skins really they add more mosnters to the game and also weapon and armor variety which a lot of people forget I think

-What to you makes a good subspecies?

A good species has to look fairly different and/or act fairly different than it's Predeccesor Which in my opinion means a couple new moves and Very importantly a atleast one area that the Orignal monster does not inhabit.
