User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Generation 1/@comment-1712810-20130204201508

I never played the 1st Gen... and that's pretty much all because I simply never even knew about the Monster Hunter series when it arrived over here! Never saw a commerical for the game or anything, otherwise I would've very likely played it.

Anyway, my favorite 1st Gen monsters would be as follows: Plesioth, Monoblos, Gravios, Kirin & Lao Shan-Lung. That's pretty much it. Never been a fan of stupid ol' Kut-Ku, and Gypceros... ugh, just one of the most annoying monsters, period.

As for the areas, I don't have much to say about them as well... I do like parts of the Old Volcano, but like Loss said, those caverns are way too big and filled with a whole lotta nothin. Very boring. The Old Desert is probably my favorite area from the 1st Gen. Can't say I care for the swamps... or that horrible jungle.

Overall, I appreciate the 1st Gen for getting the series started, and laying the foundation for the later games. Wish I could say more, but that's all I really have for this gen.
