– The island has many features that are similar to what was available on farms in previous Monster Hunter games
– The manager Felyne will be taking care of you on PocaPoca Island

– They hope to make the island a paradise that is flowing with Felynes of all kinds
– Ex: can send out the “Mon Nyan” Felyne crew off on quests and they’ll return with items that are needed to make Felyne equipment
– 3 different routes of near, normal and far quest routes
– Further quests are tougher but more rewarding

– Can send up to 5 Felynes on quests

– Will have to keep in mind which skills to use, as they can also back fire on you if not used properly
– New fishing machine on PocaPoca Island
– Machine requires Felynes and stock to use
– Goal is to aim for an area that has more fish
– If the fish move during the last second before you shoot, you’ll end up with a rather poor catch
