especially considering that most of the older series did that, mmpr, zeo(I think), lost galaxy(again, I think), lightspeed, time force, wild force

Because, it never happened in any other series. Most especially series like Mighty Morphin, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, or Wild Force :p

It's an arguement brought out by people who don't pay attention. The Alien Rangers gender-bended one or two of them to, remember.

Also loving the commanding lead Ninja Force has. Validation!

There wasn't any gender switching with the Alien Rangers.

Nevermind then :lol

Which rangers switched out for Wild Force and Time Force?

Yellow. Its always yellow :lol

isnt the rule of thumb if yellow doesnt have a skirt then it was a guy in sentai..

With the exception of Dekaranger/SPD where the girls don't have skirts anyway, pretty much yeah.

I felt like Tony Hawk or Rob Dyrdek got their hands on it while it was being decided how they would act.lol

Either one of them woudve been better than Shane, I can see it now,

"Rob Dyrdek: Ninja Storm, Ranger Form! Power of Air! Red Ninja Storm Ranger!"

oh man, just Rob would've made NS better :p since they had to have a friggin sport with each ranger, but I think one of the producers was a fan of motocross, I mean we had the yellow ranger, and the thunder guys, either that or they were lazy :lol
