@Kaiser, Frontier has everything up to Gen 2, Zinogre/Deviljho/Barioth/a few more from Gen 3, and Gore Magala from Gen 4. However it still runs on the Gen 2 engine, so its kind of funny to see newer gen monsters sometimes.

That being said, even though dont really like Frontier monsters, i wouldnt mind a few of them being included in the main series. More monsters never hurt, and its cool that lavasioth is in Gen. Though, im sure a ton of work has to be done to tone down some of them. We dont have nearly the same amount of abilities as hunters to fight frontier monsters without them nerfing them. Lavasioth and Hypnocatrice were done before they really went in that direction, so they are easier to incorporate i guess.

Thinking about it now, it would be cool to have a frontier rank, where you fight these over the top monsters with your much more limited capabilities haha
