Making new models and animations is a lot harder and more resource-consuming than just adding changes to existing monsters to make Deviants or Hypers. They're probably focusing most of their efforts in the next main game (MH5 or whatever), while Gen and Double Cross are more like spinoffs / anniversary games to fill the gap. At least I hope so.
