I agree with Dr Kain, watching the team grow as characters is half the fun of watching any show. Seeing relationships and abilities develop over the course of the show is fun.

Characters can grow without being inexperienced nobodies first. Kouga's character arc is my favourite in all of toku and he starts as the best of the best and goes from there.

I'm pretty sure Dekaranger, Gaoranger, and Gaoranger started out with their powers at the beginning of the series.

I'm not saying every series they should be inexperienced nobodies, as that would get boring. At the same time, it would also get boring if every series started out with everyone experienced. Plus, it leaves the viewer bored if everyone is highly experienced as the viewer has no one to grow with. I think that was one of my problem with ToQGer. The rangers have no memories of who they are, so there is nothing to watch them grow or learn to overcome their fears because they don't know what their fears are or what they need to work on. The thing I love about DaiRanger is that nobody wanted to be a ranger, but it was in their blood to be rangers, so they had to figure it out for themselves and go with it. The KakuRangers had team members that just wanted to have easy lives and have fun without any hardships and then had to learn that is not possible. The ZyuRangers were all royalty, so they did not have to fend for themselves and work together to accomplish anything as everything was handed to them on a silver platter. They had to realize that was no longer the case and work together in order to save the Earth. Now GoGoV did a great job with taking five siblings who all worked for some sort of government agency and had them become rangers to protect the world. Yes, they weren't fully inexperienced, but at the same time, they weren't fighters, so they had to learn how to defend the world using their knowledge of their own careers. |

And I think if they're chosen to be heroes they should be exceptional people from the get go, if you're going to choose five people to defend billions why pick a couple of Japanese school children who are not exceptional or special in any area. Especially when you have trained officials, exceptional humans and all the rest in between they could have picked from?
Of course, i'm not trying to bash on standard people becoming rangers - that will fit some people's tastes. However, the two most interesting Sentai i've watched up until now have been Zyuranger and Gokaiger, both of which had pre-formed teams, so I was thinking maybe I just find it more interesting than starting off by gathering members for a team.

Also Kouga is from the GARO franchise.

You guys are forgetting Kyoryuger.
Everyone but Red was already a Ranger, they just kept their identities secret until Daigo raped their minds and bodies with friendship. (NOTE: I guess Silver wasn't a Ranger yet, nor Gold, but even Cyan, Gray, Violet, and to a point Deathryuger already had their powers) |

I know Zyuranger, Dekaranger, Gokaiger, & Goseiger had their powers before the show started, but Dekaranger and Goseiger had not formed the team. There are a ton of seasons where the team was formed before the show started except for the the red ranger. Wasn't Ohranger already a team and had their powers as well?
