3G is actually an expansion of both Tri and P3. The "G" simply stands for "generations" and usually combines all the contents of other same generation games in itself. P3's problem was due to the insufficiency of PSPs hardware, thus Capcom came up with the idea of letting the game taking place in Yokumo village to avoid the awkwardness of a MHP3 taking place in a fishing village but hunters can't dive into the water. Now the problems with the hardware are solved, and the only (small) problem left was Capcom can't just use that "P (Portable)" on 3DS, since the "P" was originally assigned for PSP, the name just simply changed back to MH3G. So it's not surprising if we'll be seeing some familiar systems being loaned from P3 to 3G. 3DS is a portable gaming system after all, and all the experience Capcom learned from P3 could be useful on 3G.
