The problem is everyone looks the same as SSJ 3. It's hard to tell them all apart.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!It looks as if they just copy/past SSJ 3 Goku head onto Gohan.
To be fair, I don't want to see Pan as Super Saiyan 3.
It's ugly enough on male characters.
If they are so unwilling to do it, maybe they should just have her receive the mystic power up from Old Kai. It's apparently superior to most Super Saiyan forms outside of the God forms anyway.

Fair enough.
Their reluctance to give Pan Super Saiyan is baffling. I know Toriyama has been said (supposedly) to not know how to draw a female Super Saiyan (really?), but even if I bought that, I'm baffled as to their reluctance to do it. They've given everyone one different super saiyan forms, but they are still finding it so hard to give Pan the basic super saiyan.
I don't want to jump to the their being needlessly sexist explanation, but is there any other reason why they've done nothing on that front? There has to be, because even pointless sexism only goes so far.

One Strip! One Strip!They already have one of the female OC main characters as a Super Saiyan for Christ's sake.
Speaking of which, the actual designs for the player-characters are just unique enough for me to want a DBH anime or something.
My various fanfics.At this point, I really do wonder if there is some kind of bias against Pan.
I mean, they gave Broly multiple Super Saiyan forms, and both the American and Japanese fans apparently don't really care for him.
One Strip! One Strip!Check out the bangs. That big hair spike that hangs down in front of his face as Super Saiyan 2? He has two of those now.
That's how I realized it was Gohan.
This. Japan is a super-sexist culture. "Because Japan," is actually a reasonable answer to the question, "Why is anime so sexist?"
And it rubs off on otakus.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Nobody really cares about Pan.
Hell, you guys don't really care about Pan, you're just using her as an excuse to bring up the whole 'no female Super Saiyans' thing.
If years of gaming have taught me anything, it's that people don't mind playing female characters. Hell, when given the choice, I tend to play female characters myself.
In some cases, where gender is purely aesthetic, like, say, Lineage 2, it's merely for the whole "If I'm gonna be looking at an ass all day, it better be an ass worth looking at". Sometimes, though, there are differences. I'll gladly tell you that I very much prefer playing as the female MC in Persona 3, purely because she has far more interesting social links. Being able to Social Link with my teammates already sells me a million times more than some bland, underdeveloped characters.

Super Saiyan 3 Gohan looks nice.
