As much as I love Lagiacrus, and as much as I didn´t mind the land-exclusive version in Generations (at least it had new moves unlike some other returning monsters)... I can´t say I am disappointed. Lagiacrus was THE underwater monster. It´s entire concept was that it was one of the deadliest things you could run into while out in the open water. I may not dislike the Generations version but Lagiacrus simply doesn´t feel complete without underwater.

So... bring it back, by all means, but give us underwater combat back too while you´re at it! Can you imagine new aquatic environments and ecossystems in this new hardware? You could have murky swamps, beautiful tropical oceans, a dark and ominous deep-sea area (like the Rotten Vale only underwater)... so much stuff, really!
