I can see it now. You finally gain level 50 Tamer/Beastmaster, and now you have the ability to tame a Malboro. This is the moment you trained for. So you travel around looking for the baddest lv 49 Malboro you can find (can't be too tough to tame, right?). Finally, you identify the one that will be your new companion. The battle ensues. You skillfully dodge vine after vine, perfectly avoiding the notoriously bad breath, and finally, battle won, you tame your very own Malboro. But suddenly, you notice, it's now just a baby, level 1, begging to be trained for weeks or months just to get back to it's former glory.

Something about that doesn't seem right to me.
