I also like it when its done well the other way like in OOO. Eiji got some of the Dinosaur cores because of who he is rather than earning them. I remember them literally showing up in 1 episode and they just go into him that same episode. I like how it played into the story and the theme of desire throughout the show. And the idea that Putotyra was the raging unstoppable monster.

I also like to remind people that even with stronger forms, the Riders a lot of the time still have to grow their power to face their enemies. I couldn't remember any recent examples off of the top of my head, but despite being in Survive forms, Ryuki and Knight got their asses handed to them on a few occasions by Odin in the later half of the show.
