Actualy, the 3rd gen monsters are mostly superior to the 1st and 2nd. It's mainly the EDs (Fatalis>All) and Pelagus (Congalala is 10 times as difficult as team CareBear) that suck in 3rd. Example: Qurupeco is much better than Kut Ku, and while their's a certain Nostigala surounding Kut Ku, it's really a very simple boss, Qurupeco's unique abilities (Buffs, Summoning) are one of the best ideas Capcom ever came up with, while Kut Ku sits there doing nothing.
