The new names they came out with caught my attention.

Monster Hunter Generations: Obviously referring to how we had the best of all 4 generations in one game. Funny they didn't name it Cross Ultimate or something of that sort, as the previous western releases did such as Freedom Unite, 3 Ultimate and 4U. *screams internally: WHERE IS THAT U!"*

Great Maccao: It's just the difference between U and O. At least it still sounds the same. Great Maccao, Maccau.

Astalos: WHY! Raizex sounded more logical, and in fact most of us here got used to it. If they were referring to Rathalos then maybe it ain't too bad, since the Generations trailer states Astalos represents the first generation of hunting where Rath was the flagship of that era.

Gammoth: Uh... don't get the reference to 2nd gen.

Mizutsune: Not too much difference from its JP name, since G3 had a more traditional motif for a lot of things.

Glavenus: This one... NOPE.
