Can a monster hunter on Nintendo 3ds play without a joystick? Is it convenient?

Hello, yes.

The right rocker is only used as an extension to make playing more comfortable.

It's a little expensive, and you need the No.7 battery, which will be replaced in about a few hours, which is inconvenient.

You can match one if you have the conditions. The better the environment, the better the feeling of the game.

I hope my answer can help you.
