Line 127:
** Also makes sense in ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''. The city of Corinth is surrounded by a forcefield, meaning that each monster has to have some way to get around that and into the city. Also, finding out where the enemy's base is is a major plot point.
** The lead villain in the delightfully self-aware ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]'' actually attempts to [[Make My Monster Grow|supersize]] all of his monsters at once, only for the computer to respond with a memory error and his underling pointing out that he skimped on the memory upgrade that would let him supersize more than one monster at a time.
*** Knockoff series ''[[Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverley Hills]]'' (which was about as serious as the name suggests) actually addressed the whole "using a bunch of monsters" issue in one episode. The main villain goes on vacation and leaves his assistant in charge. The assistant sends out a monster to fight the good guys, but just as they're about to kill it, teleports the monster back and sends a fresh one in instead. When the good guys are about to beat the new monster, he does it again. Then he pulls that one and sends in the first one again, since it's rested and healed up. Just as the heroes are about to succumb to exhaustion and built-up damage, the main villain returns, flips his shit on his assistant because [[Genre Savvy|that's just not how it's DONE]], allows the heroes to beat the current monster, and declares that they're done for the week.
** Similarly, "Why don't you just get the Zords from the beginning and stomp the monster?" was discussed (while not done in a way that justifies it for the whole series) when the Rangers were having trouble fighting multiple monsters who managed to break the [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]] (oh, and they ''actually were ninjas,'' working for the ninja-based villain faction.) Ronny suggests sending the Zords even though "we don't normally do this," but they couldn't be launched due to an earlier monster-inflicted computer virus.
*** [[The Ditz|Natsuki]] uses this ''exact'' tactic in ''[[Gou Gou Sentai Boukenger|Boukenger]]''. And it's simultaneously [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKWnVjPZoJ0 horrifying and hilarious].
