Bold 5: I just looked at most of MH Tri's character models and only the bosses and the player model have anything above 7,000 (10k seems to be about the highest). Minor enemies have around 1,000-3,000. Not only is this part disingenuous, but the idea that the 3DS can match the Wii's polygonal output is ridiculous. Super Mario Galaxy's Mario model is around 5,000 polygons where the 3DS's Super Mario Land is less than 2,000. There are many instances of this. Pretty much across the board for almost all like for like comparisons, the Wii wins out. Except when it comes to Sun and Moon's Pokemon models. In this sense, Monster Hunter Generations models are more likely than not much less dense. Even Rathalos in Monster Hunter Stories is less than half of Monster Hunter Tri, and Monster Hunter Stories is a turn based game where more resources can be spent on models.

Bold 6: The stadiums simplistic geometry does not equate to ten thousand or more polygons in a frame. Not only can Pokemon character models be gargantuan in comparison polygonally (see: Bold 7), but even the characters themselves are incredibly more dense (Sun/Moon: almost 5,000. Colosseum: almost 1,000). This is complete exaggeration on your part.

Bold 7: I'm not sure where you are getting this information. Pit in Kid Icarus has less than 3,000 polys. Mario in Mario Tennis has less than 3,000 polys. Incinaroar alone has 16k polys. Even Pokemon like Caterpie have over 4,000 polys. MOST 3DS games do not do this. See: Bold 5.

I am going to address 5-7 right now, since this is merely a matter of fact-checking.

I've exported the models from a Monster Hunter XX 3DS Rom and was able to load them into 3D Max with the use of a plugin that allows one to import MT Framework .mod files.

Here are the counts of some enemies.

6,406 triangles, 8,801 vertices (note the model is in two parts the tail + the body.) I believe this one is Rathian. I am unsure which enemy is which because they're numbered.
