I'm gonna have to agree with you lot. There have been little to no major improvements from Generation 4 up to Generation 5, and I honestly had to endure the shitty repetitive style of Pokémon Black and White.
I'm probably not getting Pokémon Black and White 2 at launch. I'm sick of the series - at least everything that came after HG/SS.

GameFreak needs to design a whole new engine. We're in 2012 and they're still using the same old engine that's been around since Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, the usual 12 sprites the character cycles through as you run around, the crappy Pokémon battle animations, how the Pokémon just stand there boringly waiting for you to tell them what to do, etc. And seriously, why do Pokémon still take turns when battling? Back in the day it could have been due to the limitations older game systems had, but now it's just retarded. It should be a real-time thing. I really don't take graphics into account very often, but when it's 2012 and you're releasing a game like that, it is a bit of a disappointment.

Obviously developing it on the ol' Nintendo DS has its down sides, but even the DS is capable of so much more. (Remember SM64 DS, KH 358/2, etc.)

I'll eventually get Black and White 2 at some point, as I'm still a fan of the series, but that's not happening any time soon.
