When should Pan get Super Saiyan?

I'd rather Yamcha gets SSJ'd before Pan.

One issue is that the power inflation has become so great that a SSJ Pan really wouldn't make much of a difference at this point.

In the Buu saga, Goten and Trunks were still relevant because they learned fusion and could become Gotenks. But Pan at SSJ1 just wouldn't be able to do much against any enemy that could threaten Goku, Vegeta, or Gohan. So in order for her to be useful, she would have to get some kind of even greater powerup, but then people would complain that she got it too easily, or it was an asspull or doesn't make sense.

Never. She's Gohan's daughter. Let her inherit his ultimate form.

Though this would make more sense pre-Super since Gohan's hidden powers / potential have been relegated to generic saiyan traits.
