Post anything here that you think is an unpopular opinion about the series. I'll give a few of my own examples:

-I like 4 better than 2
-I like 3 better than EVO
-I hate using speed-based monsters... for some reason it just seems like they never end up dodging and they just crumble
-Bajarls, Mocks and Apes are awesome (so controversial, I know)
-I didn't mind when worms got removed--I didn't like their animations, and all other breeds with worm sub breeds just would have been cooler with a Beaklon sub
-The Joker designs for 3, 4 and EVO far surpass how they appear in 2
-One of the monsters I most want to see in a console return is not Wracky, or Arrowhead...but Zilla
-When breeds have little/no subs, and there are no subs with that breed, I get a bit annoyed
-Durahans are the best looking breed in 2, 3 and 4
-Monster Rancher 3's region-based breed system allowed for more creative monster types to appear in breeds that wouldn't normally have that option (ice-beaklon) and was a worthy sacrifice for the type of game that it was

-koropandoras are gross dont look at them

Is liking 3 better then EVO even remotely unpopular?

3 sold more copies than Evo...

Yeah, but when I go on GameFAQs or whatever all I hear is immense amount of 3 hate. Probably the emphasis on cartoony-er monsters.

-They should've kept Undines and dropped Pixies.
-Ghosts are the best monster, period.
-Centaurs need a console comeback, preferably not
one where you have to beat everything before you can
use them...

I also prefer 4 to 2, but it's very close. If they
had the same monsters, it'd be a landslide win for
4.

I also believe that some monsters can get a lot more subtype 'action', such as Gaboos in MR2

Here's an unpopular one.

I hate every console MR after the original. I hated MR2.

Unpopular indeed!

I don't like worms or beaclons. Bugs and worms are yucky. :P
I'd like to see Undine (popular), Mock or Jill to return.

I really dislike the art for jokers since MR2. Joker was my favourite monster in Monster Rancher two, but in every game since they've taken on a more reaper-like aspect, and lost their demon clown look for the most part.

Also, I love to raise bad-natured monsters. Stuff like Suezos, Nagas, Jokers, Apes. I like monsters that are harder to raise and have a bad attitude or are just lazy.

I love Gaboos. They are my favorite monsters. I can
seriously watch one walk around the ranch for ever
in MR2 and love when they pretend to shoot the sky
after they win. They have really good stat gains in
everything
except INT. Seems like there's always been so much
hate for these guys.

Dude, I love Gaboos too! I always wish there were more subtypes, and that other monsters had Gaboo subtypes. a Golem/Gaboo would probably be my favorite monster ever.

Haha a Mud Golem! That would be sweet!

Oh and P.S. I always wished there was a
(Golem/Mew). How awesome and demeaning
would it be to pound your enemies with
your big kitty cat?!

...go on, i am intrigued

I can't stand Undine or her immense popularity, and
I think Joker and Phoenix look poorly in every game
they've appeared in.

Also, I'm very torn on which Plant I prefer; MR1/2
or MR4. Both are very well designed imho.

Plant is also one of my favorite monster types.

From what I've seen of all the other Monster Rancher
games, I can say that I think that MRA2 is the best
Monster Rancher game.
