1. Honestly, I can't say much for most of these, since I started in MH3U, but I guess maybe 3rd Gen Plesioth was good, until MHGen of course. 4th Gen Zinogre was pretty good compared to 3rd Gen's, and (though I haven't played MHXX yet) they at least improved Lao-Shan's fight in MHXX a decent amount. Also, 4th Gen's Tigrex is pretty good, they even revamped his theme to sound more threatening! Come on Capcom! We need more of those Music Revamps! I guess even Cepha's revamp is good, mainly since it actually comes out of the sand and attacks you more now.

2. I would have to say MHGen's Plesioth. Not being able to chase it down in the water makes the fight much more tedious, and his "new" attack was nothing more than a slightly stronger hipcheck... Also, 4th Gen Lagia could've been better. It's not the worst, but it's just a bit too much AoE, and not diverse enough. Also screw Blangonga in general.

3. Hmm... Not quite sure... Maybe something like a Ceadeus fight, but you fight him in the Great Sea on a Dragonship, in a fashion similar to the Mohrans. Maybe we could get Hypnoc back, and revamp it somehow... Maybe also a revamp to Gobul to make it better for Land Battles as well. I also think Gammoth could be revamped a little, maybe to make her a bit more of a threat.

4. A good amount of 4th Gen Monsters don't really need a revamp. Such as Gore/Shagaru (though they kinda got one in frontier), Seregios, Tetsu, Kecha, The Fated Four (besides gammoth), and more. Even Brachy is fine how it is as well.

5. Plesioth is really close to no saving... besides that, I'm not quite sure... Maybe Khezu as well... the least they can do for him is give him some BGM...

6. Honestly, I'm not sure. A lot of these revamps are pretty good, and I can't really comment on MH3's Barioth since I started with MH3U. Maybe Plesioth's 3rd Gen iteration. It's definitely better than 4th Gen's, though both 3rd/4th gen plessy is better than 1st/2nd.

7. Some, kinda yes. Maybe for Monsters like Hypnoc, or the Yians... Maybe Mono could/could've gotten a change in appearance as well, since Diablos did (he may have, though I'm just not sure, haven't checked).

8. Maybe by adding new moves, or changing/removing annoying moves... Just the simple, usual stuff.

9. No not really, that's really just something G-Rank already does to Monsters. It's not really a revamp. It's just a new move.

10. I guess, Ceadeus, Gobul, and maybe even MHFU's Hypnoc.

11. Can't really say, I really haven't seen enough of all of Frontier's Monsters to give an idea. Plus, Frontier really does a lot to its Monsters to make them Crazy, yet interesting... Maybe they could just slow down on giving them all some sort of AoE attack...
