We can't have AbarePink be used to justify calling another character their 6th without taking into account White Racer or, even possibly, Shinken Brown.
AbarePink wearing a pink motorcycle helmet doesn't validate her any more as a ranger than White Racer's headband.

White Racer or ShinkenBrown are too different to be legitimate yes (to say nothing of Richard Brown's lack of, well, anything). I considered AbarePink merely because she has a full "suit" and because in the context of the Abaranger tribute in Gokaiger, the team henshin included Ahim as AbarePink and Gai as AbareKiller. AbarePink's overall appearance in Gokaiger is basically superfluous unless one counts Ahim's quick-change in the given episode. I only feel that it was included to A): "wink" at the audience, and B): Try to muddle through the official inclusion of AbareKiller as Sixth while giving Ahim something to change into. Carranger has no genuine Sixth, but Shinkenger does. AbarePink was not meant to be viewed officially, but in that context, I believe the suit was given temporary seriousness which isn't necessarily wrong as they went through with the henshin up until Ahim feels too embarrassed to do anything in it.
