I'd argue this, what if and stick with me here because this is quite a stretch, that there has been enough time between games to give the monsters and immunity or resistance to the constant exposure to the frenzy virus (kind of like a sickness that with exposure you get over), but for whatever reason it still harms/affects the hunter. I can't say that I know exactly how the passage of time works in the monster hunter world for things such as hunters, monsters, and NPCs, but it would explain quite a lot if there was a gap in time (as well as location) between each game(s). For example, in one of the flavor texts of the game it is stated that the Fatalis family are the largest elder dragons capable of flight, but in 4U the largest monster to fly is Gogmazios. This could imply that the knowledge the guild has is slowly being updated as the guild has gotten bigger and discovered new locations, monsters, ect. In order for that to happen some time must have passed... The only problem is that the NPCs tend to stay relatively the same. Maybe time is different for Wyverians, monsters, the world and humans/hunters... Anyway that's just some speculation.
