Straight from Mr.del Toro himself:

"That's why guys never give birth," he says. "They're crybabies. We'd go extinct as a species. They'd be like, 'F- that!'"

The final film has nine different Jaegars and 12 different Kaijus, although far more made it to various stages of design.

"We designed a lot and, every week, we would do an American Idol," Del Toro continues. "...Those that survived were refined further."

So, it's highly possible that most of those 31 Kaijus in the kill-count will appear off-screen. Also, nine Jaegers, which means four more will appear, maybe in some minor capacity. We'll see.
