Was it Ninja Storm that had the "I knew Power Rangers were real!" line? Because that's a perfect example of what I mean. Or that lady in Lightspeed Rescue who Linkara dubbed the "dumbest person in Power Rangers". In a vague sense they're in continuity with each other, but they always treat it like the events of each series are shrouded in mystery even when you'd think there'd be easily accessible news footage of giant monsters/robots and the like. Just look at Megaforce. That was a show that explicitly WAS operating in a universe where all the other shows were canon, and it still acts like this is the first time aliens have invaded Earth.

You want to fit Dino Charge in the main universe? Just pretend it does. What's one more plot hole when your canon is already held together by scotch tape and a prayer? They could have the Dino Charge crew team up with Ninja Steel, never once mentioning that zoo, and it'd be business as usual.

Let's just say the other time travel antics in PR cancelled the Supercharge finale out offscreen or something.

Pretty much, The only time PR has had solid continuity was MM-LG. Lightspeed completely rebooted the franchise: the Rangers went from alien magic powered teens to being a government employed rescue response team with their weapons and powers created by science and are treated as being the first and only team in existence.

And I distinctly remember way back in the day that the crossovers were debated as canon or not with the most popular argument against being the fact that the crossover never has any impact on the show the plot acts like it never happened.

That's why the "Dino Charge destroys the canon!" complaint confuses me because outside of the Zordon era PR's attitude towards an overreaching canon is if I'm remembering right:

"If we can squint and see it kinda fit together we're good"
