The MGLN Franchise

Also, I just realized Kaori Ishihara or Yuko Kaida could make a good Nanoha. Specially a Kaida, since a lower pitched voice would highlight how Nanoha has grown...

Third character is voiced by Ishihara, the last one by Kaida. I reckon that hearing "Starlight Breaker!" in the same pitch Kaida uses on that last scream before the end would be EPIC!

If you're looking for that kind of stuff, yeah, those would be your best bets. Otherwise, you'd have to stick to fanfics/doujinshi.
(Of course, I'm not in this franchise for the yuri--or any kind of romance, for that matter. I'm more in it for the action scenes, the characters, and the settings (in no particular order). But that's just me...)

I'd say almost non-existent, if you still count Arisa's tsundere-ness, A's has a bit, but that could also be interpreted as two friends meeting for a long time. A case can be argued for StrikerS, and only between Subaru and Teana. Force doesn't have any... yet.
The fanbase just has their yuri goggles set into overdrive, and some people in Seven Arcs decided to roll with it.

For a place that hates yuri so much, you guys sure like to bring it into a conversation a lot for no apparent reason.
Yukari may retire and the first conversation it brings up is the potential for less yuri undertones...Really?
It's not even "in your face," none of it is (Well, except for Nanoha Innocent). It doesn't take up much time, it's a welcome reprieve from all the beamspam, and their strong friendship makes sense considering what transpired during the 1st season. I'm about 120% certain you guys would eat it up if a male character was involved and it wasn't girlxgirl. Which really makes the argument fall flat, because it's not the "excessive" undertones that bothers you, it's the lack of a penis.

Lets get real here. I don't want to start naming people but there are a quite a few of them here. And while Nanofate is brought up often here, it's never in a positive light. I still read horror stories about NanoFate fans treachery that happened years ago, as if to kindle the flame of anti-Nanofate propaganda for the new arrivals to this place.
And this is the problem at its core. Rather than accept that NanoFate is a fundamental element of the franchise it somehow detracts from other good story elements. This is why I say that if it was heterosexual pairing people here would accept it as being a core to the franchise. Unlike NanoFate that is considered excessive fan-pandering and unneeded, a heterosexual pairing would be considered a necessary element for Nanoha's love interest... Ala Syaoran from Card Captor Sakura...who plays a huge role in the series and is Sakura's rival turned friend and love interest.
NanoFate has been there since the start, it's part of what makes Nanoha...Nanoha. They are the main duo. The amount of time spent on Nanofate in StrikerS is minimal compared to the amount of training episodes. StrikerS had 26 episodes, and achieved little. Out of those 26 episodes, NanoFate was a small part of it if you factor in total screentime.
I never said anything about a male main character, only a male love interest. People here are more anti-yuri then they are logical about whether or not the pairing is actually good or not.
Also you can't decorate a turd. The biggest issue with Force is its existence in the first place.
And for the record, I'm not pro-yuri or anti-het, I go with what feels right and makes sense. No crack, tyvm.

While the general consensus of NanoFate here is not good, In my opinion, its not bad either. Why else would there be NanoFate shippers in this very forum? If we were so anti-NanoFate, we would've burned them in stakes already.
I'm surprised you immediately equated "yuri elements" with "NanoFate." There's also SubaruXTea on the side, NanohaXArisa NanohaXVita... Also, I think NanoFate wasn't there from the start. Nanoha became what we know of it today because of the genius suggestion that she looked like a gundam, and with that came the beams, and eventually a blonde rival with a penchant for speed. The guys at the production staff then started experimenting on which pairing would get the best reception: Yunno and Chrono being candidates 1 and 2, but apparently NanoFate came out as the most widely received, then... you know the rest.
Well, for one thing, it will make the story more interesting. Why? Because of Nanoha's "I love everybody" attitude.
I take it you haven't read the pairings thread then.
EDIT: For the record, I am definitely human and most definitely NOT a monster, that means we're cool, everything's cool.
Also, I'm not particularly against NanoFate, or yuri in general. Girl on girl is hot after all.
