I don't think so. It's more about the memory that is going to be used for each monster. First of all, it's about planning the game, which monsters are going to be in it (more than anything the generations). Let's remember Rathian and Rathalos are the "pikachus" of this franchise, so they are now a must in the other games. xD Second, it's about the memory. ALL the posible situations on the escenary. ALL the posible hits done so by the monster, so by the hunter. Then calculate all the possible damage done with all the 12 weapons. And now let's remember that each weapon do more damage when it impacts on certain area (As GS hits harder on the center rather than on the edges). So, I say it's more about memory needed.
