Summary
The many new monsters introduced inMonster Hunter Wildswill need some inspiration, andPokemon X and Ycould offer some of their own eclectic ideas.Monster HunterandPokemonboth pull from some outlandish concepts when it comes to designing their monsters, so it’s not surprising if they take on similar concepts. It’s especially impressive that both franchises have done so through multiple console generations.Monster Hunter Wilds' monster concepts are unlikely to slow down in light of that.
Monster Hunter Wildslooks like it could be ready to spark a new era for the series. It’s similar to howPokemon’s game-changing Mega Evolutiongimmick emerged in Generation 6. WhileMonster Hunter Wildshasn’t introduced a concept as wild as Mega Evolution, the early trailers hint at a game that could take a different direction thanMonster Hunter WorldandRisebefore it. No matter what directionWildstakes, the game will need plenty of great monsters for players to fight.
The Pokemon Of Kalos Could Look Impressive in Monster Hunter Wilds
A Flaming Lion Like Pyroar Would Look Amazing in Monster Hunter
Pyroar’s concept and design are simple yet awesome. A fire-breathing lion with a mane of flames is something that would be incredible to see inMonster Hunter’s scale and art style, so it would be an incredible Pokemon to take inspiration from. Such a beast could easily become aniconic monster in theMonster Hunterseries, so the developers may want to take a long look at the idea. If nothing else, it could provide one ofMonster Hunter Wilds' greatest spectacles.
Dragalge Is a Memorable, Eye-Catching Sea Dragon
IfMonster Hunter Wildsneeds more dragons, then Dragalge could offer an idea. A sea-dwelling dragon that disguises itself as a cluster of seaweed, it would be fun to see how it could blend into the environment during a hunt. Of course, Dragalge’s poisonous nature makes it a major threat even outside of its ability to ambush its opponents. In terms of both dragons and water monsters, Dragalge could bring something new toMonster Hunter Wilds.
Monster Hunter Wilds Could Use a Gargantuan Ice Monster Like Avalugg
There are several monsters, such asMonster Hunter’s imposing Barroth, that use mud as armor, butPokemoncould replicate that feat with ice. Avalugg is basically a walking glacier and a physical powerhouse. IfMonster Hunter Wildshas an icy area, then it would do well with an ice-coated beast like Avalugg. Its sheer crushing power would give it incredible presence in the world. However, its biggest perk could be providing players with a source for visually dazzling icy weapons and armor.
Monster Hunterhas featured armor sets made of natural materials before, like the Shell-Studded set. With that in mind, equipment carved from ice may not be too far-fetched.
Clawitzer Could Become Monster Hunter’s Scariest Crustacean
As a shrimp that can use its gigantic claw as a cannon, Clawitzer has the makings of an excellent addition toMonster Hunter Wilds. A massive crustacean would stand out among themonsters inMonster Hunter Wilds, especially with a projectile gimmick attached. It would be especially interesting to see how its cannon-claws could be incorporated into aMonster Huntermoveset. The end result of a Clawitzer-themed beast could be one ofMonster Hunter’s best monster gimmicks.
Monster Hunter Wilds Could Get a New Take on Dragons From Noivern
It might be hard to find a dragon inPokemonmore unique than Noivern. Basically a combination of a dragon and a boombox, its ears double as speakers that can emit powerful sonic blasts. That would give it an intriguing alternative in combat compared to the fire breath utilized by many of the wyverns that populateMonster Hunter’s ranks. In many ways,Monster Hunter Wildsneeds to evolveto keep the series strong, and a monster like Noivern could represent a continued dedication to creative monster design.
