This report from the ongoing licensing expo gives some unusual insight into the selection of Megaforce:
You may be wondering why Power Rangers Megaforce used Goseiger rather than Gokaiger, which was an ideal season based on the successful execution of the anniversary concepts. I wasn’t able to get a solid answer for this question. They believed that Gokaiger’s pirate theme was more focused for boys (rather than boys and girls) and the concepts of stealing and plundering were too hardcore for a young audience.
Despite a grim outlook for the Legendary Pirates, an updated report suggests more to this Sentai selection than meets the eye:
They are unable to skip a season, which makes sense because Goseiger comes before Gokaiger. Gokaiger fans will be very pleased when the time is right. Unlike the Shinkenger adaptation, Power Rangers Megaforce has gone through an extensive creative process in hopes to deliver a great product for the anniversary.
What else could this mean for future adaptations, if any??? Stay tuned as we do our best to keep you informed! :)

Wait... Wasn't Toei filming a Legendary War for Saban?
I personally think it was just because they thought the Pirate theme was too silly. I mean, I know we've had giant animal cars & things like that in the past but I think "Giant flying Pirate Ship" might be going overboard a bit (see what I did there?).
Hmm, that tremor I felt on my way to work must have been the massive nerd rage that this tidbit surely must have caused. It did kind of sound like a hundred thousand nerdly screams.
oh well, ce'la'vie!
Well i think it makes since. I've been trying to wrap my brain around how the heck they would explain the pirate theme for a while. And while gosieger (don't know if i spelled that right) might not be the best choice for the 20th adaption there is still power Rangers 20
Honestly? I think this response is just Saban going "We're doing Goseiger right now, stop asking about Gokaiger and enjoy this for now."
Why hype up whatever's coming up after what's already coming up? Keep the hype going for your current series and the series that's coming up directly after it. We're reading too much into this.
Plundering and stealing is too hardcore? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
I know this may sound far fetched so don't toss me out a window just yet but what if Power Rangers 20 is basically Gokaiger w/o the Pirate theme? Basically keeping the retro/anniversary gimmick but instead of being Pirates it's just normal peeps who inherit a modified Mobirate that transforms the user to a Power Ranger from the last 20 years. I guess they could use footage/costumes from Gokaigers enemies into the show. Again, just a theory. Don't be alarmed.
