Generation 8 of Pokemon was full of ideas that could prove useful to Monster Hunter Wilds. While Monster Hunter Wilds is looking to be a big step forward for the series, Pokemon spent Gen 8 releasing two of the series' most innovative installments with Pokemon Sword and Shield and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. That generation also introduced many powerful and intimidating Pokemon for players to catch, and many of those Pokemon could be inspirational for the next generation of Monster Hunter.
