I think that Plesioth should have been a flagship for one of the original games. The unique combat style, strategy, Hip Check of death, and overall awesomeness would have made ol' Plessy a great monster to put on the cover of a game.

As for Frontier, I also think Espinas should be the flagship monster. Either her, or Taikun Zamuza - I consider him to be the most unique of all Frontier monsters (and thus, the most unique of ALL monsters), and Frontier is all about breaking the monster mold.
