the many Trig game specific mentions often unneeded (as the trope easily applies to 1st, 2nd, & 4th generation games). I guess this is due to Tri being the 1st game available to many new fans of the series (those who never owned Sony consoles/handhelds)

Instead of removing the specific details of those, why not expanding the other generations as well?
135 - 158 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300
The nutrients example was worded so that it would seem nutrients were new to them, where in fact they have been there since the beginning. IDK, maybe it's continuity lockout at work. Started unifying some of the examples. thanks.
I'm in the process of rewording almost every Tri-only example mentioned in the page, but I'm gonna need help due to how extensive everything is.

The Beautiful Letdown
Due to how big the page has become, would it be time to divide the tropes into separate pages/subsections and turn the main page into an index?

Maybe. I would start by folderizing it in alphabetic sections.

I've managed to divide the contents first into 3 folders, then into 5 for better readability.

So this is where the folders came from? I thought it was weird they suddenly appeared! o.o Er, is there somewhere on TV Tropes I can make a suggestion for the site? I'm really fed up with the folders I had open closing every time the browser reloads the tab after, y'know, opening another tab to investigate an unfamiliar trope - as one is apt do while enjoying TV Tropes - making me have to re-locate where I left off. Or is there already a way to stop that from happening?
Also is this too off-topic? I'm not an experienced troper, so I apologize if this isn't the appropriate way to ask.
EDIT: Never mind me, I'm just here suggesting things that have already been done.

I've noticed several instances of tropes stating that the Cheeko Sands Elder's husband died in his encounter with the Akantor. I feel this informantion is erroneous. I didn't know if I had the authority to correct the information, so I placed my theory and evidence in the WMG. If someone sees this, please post me a response here as to whether or not the reports of his death were greatly exaggerated.
EDIT: Furthermore, Whitescruff was NOT the Palico of the Elder's husband. It was Whitescruff's FATHER, who repeatedly told the poor Whitescruff stories of how the Akantor destroyed the Elder's ship, thus causing Whitescruff to develop a fear of monsters.

I think it's implied that he died, and you're supposed to think so, but I forget whether or not they ever outright state he died in the fight with the Akantor. I think they use some Never Say "Die" words like "he was lost" or something. Don't you get a letter later on that's heavily implied to be from him, but he can't get to Cheeko Sands because the only way to get there is to lose your way?
There is a message in a bottle that can be found later that is implied quite heavily to be from him (given that No Name Given and Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" are in HEAVY usage) but since he has an amazing sense of direction and "you can only find Cheeko Sands by losing your way", it's implied they'll be separated until she leaves the island.
So, no page or mention of the upcoming movie?
Yes, we all know it'll be terrible, but still.
I'm not entirely certain how to classify this as a trope, but there's a line of dialogue that the Analytics Director will randomly say when checking in at Provisions Management that has some fairly big implications about the Monster Hunter world and its level of technology.
Occasionally, he'll talk about his sister, the Captain of the Third Fleet. He mentions that she's a biologist first and foremost and has understanding of monster, human, felyne, and wyverian anatomy like no one else. However, her specialty is neuroscience, suggesting that at the very least they have advanced medicine beyond what the setting suggests.
Unbeugsame Klinge
I removed this:
- Battle Couple:
- Seltas and Seltas Queen are also an example of this trope, albeit a more abusive relationship.
While several of the other examples are legit, I have a really hard time seeing this one, for a few reasons.
1. Neither of them give two shits about each other, not really anyway. Seltas is nothing more than a drone to sacrifice for his queen's sake, and he only cares about her because of her mind-controlling pheremones.
2. They're not really a "couple." That is, yes, they're mates, but they're not in a relationship; the Seltas is just one of countless drones that serve and can mate with the Queen. If you kill one, she just summons another.
I wouldn't even call them a dysfunctional Battle Couple, I'd say it's just not an example.

It's also fairly vague as to how they fit the trope.

under M Ythology Gag, I kinda got the impression that the person they were scared of was the Moga Fishmongress, not the Hunter. I distinctly remember several lines from the ships' captains expressing their respect for the Hunter and fear of the Mongress. If no one has anything on that, i'm going to go ahead and change it here in a day or two.

In defense of the entry: the Fishmongress is the Val Habar merchant's twin sister, which she herself notes. If it was indeed the Fishmongress the Moga fishermen were referring to, the merchant wouldn't have talked about the character in question as if he or she were an unfamiliar entity, unless the Val Habar merchant lady doesn't really know her sister too well.
It's also entirely possible that the fishermen, despite putting on a Hot Blooded front in Tri, are actually scared of the player character because of his/her achievements during the course of the game, albeit in a respectful manner. That, or they're scared of the Hunter ratting them out to the Fishmongress if they don't return with a haul.

Should this be moved to the Franchise namespace? There's an anime (for Stories), a movie, another movie (supposedly) on the way...
