Another idea would be a Pink that actually wasn’t the leader of her team (or even the last one to join for that matter). She’d still be the focus and sometimes take point in battle but overall one of the others would be the one primarily calling the shots (Sentai has experimented with this a few times so why not Precure as well).

Another idea would be to have the mentor for the season also be a Cure herself (maybe either as the Pink or as the 6th Ranger equivalent). The only example I can think of is Cure Flower but she only actually transformed for like two episodes near the end. Those are all great ideas! I think ''Doki Doki! Pretty Cure'' experimented with two of those a bit. Makoto/Cure Sword may not be famous for being a Pretty Cure, but she does have to deal with the fame and scrutiny that comes from being a popular singer and actress. And when Cure Ace joins halfway through, she acts as a stern mentor to the other four Cures.
