@IEatMyRamen; 4U is being treated differently simply because Capcom have altered the formula for 4th generation. Instead of going: Console --> Handheld --> Definitive Handheld Edition, they've gone straight to Handheld --> Definitive. Previously, the first handheld edition allowed Capcom to introduce MORE than 2 monsters (for instance, Zinogre, Duramboros, the 3 Bears, Nibelsnarf, Amatsu) to expand upon the current generation's roster, but 4th generation is leaving some people disappointed because the degree of variety in completely new monsters has dropped.
