Predict when the next Monster Hunter will come to Switch and what kind of game it will be

Rajang was the first

Pretty sure Iceborne is going to be World's Ultimate/G equivalent.

I want freefalling too. Let me fight Rathalos/Amatsu/Astalos in the air, as sort of the other side to monsters fought underwater like Gobul and Lagiacrus. You can even have Mizutsune be an underwater fight too, in addition to its land phase.

>Gobul
Will never work without water because it's literally not built to work on land alone. You can't even adjust its moveset to try and make it work like they attempted and failed to do with Lagiacrus; Gobul's entire MO is built around paralysis, ambushes, and using water to its advantage to trap its prey such as the signature vortex move. God I miss it, and water in general.

Thing is those special monster portals are only in certain parts of the map so even if Qurupeco were to for instance summon Odogaron it'd have to exit the portal and then run to wherever Qurupeco is and by that point you'd know it's spawned and can dung bomb Qurupeco so neither of you are in the same area anymore by the time muscle dog gets there. So every zone would have to have a special spawn point for monsters that can't dig or fly in order for the gimmick to work but even then you'll know it's coming because they'll only spawn from one place so either way you can counter measure accordingly. One of Quruepco's hooks is unpredictability. It's hard to enforce that when you know where threats are coming from at all times unless they inject multiple monster spawn points into each individual zone and make it random which honestly I don't see happening.

it's not uncommon to have both a G game and a Port G game like 4th gen did, or not have a console G game at all in the case of 2nd gen

This is also the first time it's possible for downloadable content to include entire expansions rather than just some event quests. An "Ultimate" version of World later down the line could be a release with all the DLC included like a GOTY edition, since G rank (or the equivalent) might be added to the original game.

Nah, he wasn't but he was latter in 4u.
