I mean G-Rank doesn't necessarily need to be in the game as previous games have done it, but the point is, is that this is still a 4th Gen game that is set after 4G. The only other time this was done was after MHG with the first portable game, but this is a completely separate game. I have a good feeling though that they are hiding something, which is why we've seen no one confirm or deny a G-Rank or have witnessed any subspecies yet in the game. Only 2 more days till we know hopefully
