Monster Hunter X does away with subspecies, has more monsters instead

Monster Hunter X, unlike other recent Monster Hunter titles, won’t have monster subspecies.

Previous Monster Hunter games have used subspecies as a way to save on the development costs of designing and modelling more monsters. The development team have changed pace for X though, adding a larger variety of monsters for players to tackle.

Sounds like a win to me.

Monster Hunter X releases 26 November in Japan with no word of a Western release as of yet.
