I say, in an honest opinion, he did it too soon.

Monster Point was pretty much the one thing Chopper had no control over. He could have done it much later kind of a "surprise! plot twist" sort of thing. Now, with the time-skip still being fairly young, we know all of what Chopper has improved. Chopper doesn't need to show anymore of his new skills, since now we know them all. Oda should have known something about a timeskip: you don't need to show ALL of their moves in the beginning! Surprise fans in the future so the timeskip has more of a purpose.
