Something that needs clearing up here in the article is the MH franchise is split up into several teams - Console, Portable, MHOnline (which ended in 2019) and MH spin off titles. There's always been a portable and a console version right up until 4U which the console team decided to they'd like to try making a game for the 3DS (as they could do 3D). The team for the game MH Rise are the ones who made the series so successful in Japan with MHPortable on the PSP. They also did generation's and GU and are masters of the hand-held titles. They had started on Rise as soon as GU was finished, not as soon as World was released. In fact the other team is already busy working on the new entry as most titles taking 4 years dev time.
Yes, Rise is a mainline title. It is considered the Gen 5 as well as World, but more accurately it's a mainline portable title, but something to get extremely excited about as the portable team always go that extra mile.
