User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Gypceros(4th Gen)/@comment-7584137-20150413165312

So Gypceros isn´t exactly the most loved monster around here.Can´t I´m surprised. It looks like something you would see if you were high on something. And my friend, a fellow MH fan, hates it. XD As for myself, well... I don´t exactly love Gypceros, but I like the way it´s name sounds and it´s flash move. It´s just the kind of monster that I overlook.

But... weren´t the monsters from older generations brought back due to popularity? Unless Gypceros is popular with the Japanese fanbase, how did it have ANY chance of actually coming back? Granted, there is "Nerscylla and it´s love of eating Gypceros", but couldn´t that concept have worked with another monster?
