@Wiibomb The thing about the timeline is it sees every game moves time forwars jst some ears as the same characers ar always there okingthe same age. Nekoht from MHFU makes a appearance in MH4U in a episode quest, The Great Elder in the Elder Hll is from MH2, The brother of the guy in the shrine a cather is he chief of the village from MH2, The village chief of the first MH game is mentioned, Some characters from MH1 can be seen walking in Dundorma, The instructor was in MH3 he was from MHF1 I beleive?. MHP3rd had the chief of Pokke Village, they mention the same monster attacks from the previous games.

All the MH games have been on the same timeline only a few years apart from each other. It's just we get to explore new regions of the world.
