Underwater combat is unlikely to return this generation, but if it does, it'll be great to see old faces like Gobul, Plesioth, Lagiacrus, and Ceadeus in their natural element again, and it'd be even better if they introduced a variety of new ones, too, since most life on Earth is aquatic (I think a monster based on nudibranches, orcas, sea snakes, remipedes, eels, and other animals that haven't seen use yet would be awesome). And if it happens, I hope they give the current Carapaceons along with Zamtrios, Pariapuria, and Baruragaru (if they ever appear in the fifth generation games, that is) the ability to fight underwater, because it would fit them pretty well.
