In all due respect, I'd say Monster Hunter would fit good enough on Wikizilla. While your argument on the monsters themselves works on the surface, some of the films that currently have Sandboxes/are officially on the wiki have monsters that are both natural and weak to man-wielded weaponry. And even then, the weapons that Hunters use are not just regular weapons. Not only are they oversized but they are elemental at nature. The Dual Blades' Demon Mode, for example, is shown clearly in the film's international trailer.

The Pokemon comparison doesn't hold up either. For one, the Monster Hunter movie's involvement of the real world makes it a little more viable than Pokemon, which has a fabricated world and no involvement with real-life locations. The Pokemon themselves aren't taken seriously while the wyverns and beasts of Monster Hunter are. Also, most Pokemon aren't kaiju. You could say that for the monsters in Monster Hunter as well but that leads into my next point.

Monster Hunter isn't the only film on here that wasn't marketed (or intended) as a kaiju film. For example, Astounding Beyond Belief (OP) made a sandbox for The Host/Gwoemul. Although the titular Gwoemul has a similar origin to Godzilla, it was never advertised as that sort of movie. Same with Jellyfish Eyes and Monsters, both of which have an official page and sandbox respectively.

And even then, Monster Hunter shares a lot of beats with the average kaiju movie. There's military leads, giant monsters with bulletproof skin, destruction of man-made structures by said monsters, and more. Also, Ron Perlman who is in Monster Hunter as the Admiral already has appeared in Pacific Rim, which is on Wikizilla. Plus, there are movies on here that don't even have those criteria nor connections to any major kaiju franchise.

Overall, I'm standing my case. Until further notice, I say that Monster Hunter should stay
