Per TRS, this is now Trivia and renamed to Production Lead Time

Added DiffLines:

* ProductionLeadTime: This is typically less of an issue between the console and handheld installments in the series, which are each handled by separate development teams, since there's a lot of communication and idea sharing between them; this allows a game to include monsters and hunting areas from another that was released a year or slightly less prior (for example, ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate]]'' quickly adopted many monsters and features from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPortable3rd'' which was released just one year prior and developed by the handheld team).[[note]]In fact, there was even a game, ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunterFreedom2 Monster Hunter Freedom Unite]]'', that included monsters and content from the SpinOff ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterFrontier'', which was handled by yet another development team and had only been released 8 months prior[[/note]] However, ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'' (released in 2018) was very unlucky in this regard: Its development began in early 2014, but because of its secluded planning phase and the time required to incorporate the monsters' skeletons into the physics of the then-new graphical engine for the series, the game prescinded from all sorts of content featured in the fourth-generation and late third-generation games, with the exception of the Insect Glaive and Charge Blade weapon classes. For this reason, someone who hasn't played too many MH games would have thought at first that the game's predecessor was ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' (released in ''2009'') due to the presence of Barroth, Uragaan and Deviljho; rather than ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterGenerations Ultimate'' (released in 2017, only one year before ''World'' itself). The ''Iceborne'' expansion rectified this by adding newer veterans like Zinogre, Raging Brachydios and Glavenus.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** The game shares a name with a 2001 PC game, ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPC''.
** The Rajang shares its name with a village in Iran and a river located in Sarawak, Malaysia. Interestingly enough, the river is also located in Borneo, which has a large population of primates.
** The status effect "[[BroughtDownToNormal Dragonblight]]" does ''not'' have anything to do with [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft that snow-covered protodrake graveyard in Northrend]].
** Dragonite Ore shares the first half of its name with a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} certain bulky, bipedal dragon]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsGYpieEhU4 Spoofed here]]. It also happens to be a valuable ore in the [[Anime/OutlawStar Toward Stars]] [[Anime/AngelLinks Universe]].
** The series itself shares its name with [[https://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/monster-hunter a certain Legendary weapon]] from ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'' and one of Valla's Talents from ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm''.
** Fireblight, Waterblight, and Thunderblight are status conditions, not [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild malevolent biomechanical monsters]].
** ''Stories'' isn't the only game to feature magical rocks known as Kinstones, though they work very differently in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap''.

* LateExportForYou: While ''Monster Hunter'' games being released in the West about half to 2/3 of a year after their Japanese releases is the norm, ''Generations Ultimate'' is notable in that it took ''17 months'' after its original Japanese release to get a localized release (a little over a year after the Japanese Switch release), and by then ''World'' [[SequelFirst was 8 months old]]. This seems to have been put to rest starting with the fifth generation of games, with ''World'' getting a simultaneous global release and ''Rise'' scheduled to follow suit.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: For years, players around the world were convinced that Deviljho would eat their own tails when another food source wasn't nearby and they were hungry. As of October 2022, after a Twitter user asked for footage of the act, no one could produce any that wasn't faked via meat or other food sources being placed in or around the tail, suggesting this was never the truth at all.

** Lagiacrus was supposed to be in ''World'', and later on, ''Rise'', but technical issues with implementing it in the fifth-generation's more complex environments (the amount of nodes it needed for proper inverse kinematics apparently required so much processing power that it caused PS4 dev kits to overheat) led to it not making the cut in both games.

For example, Amatsu debuted in the Japan-exclusive ''Portable 3rd'' before being officially introduced to overseas players in ''Generations''.

** ''Generations Ultimate'' has the Weakness Exploit skill for Palicos and Prowlers, which works the same way as its Hunter counterpart (increases Affinity (CriticalHit chance) when hitting a monster's weakest areas). But in the Western versions in particular, it cannot be obtained through legitimate means by yourself. Not through Palico scouting and not even through DLC; the DLC Palico that's supposed to carry it was never released for these particular versions. The only way to get it is to hack the game or [[ViralUnlockable receive a Palico from another player that has it]].
