In my view, several bait-and-switch fillers were missed opportunities. Among others. To name some...
1: May catching Swablu, evolve them into Altaria, win several contests with them, and then release them when the flock is finally found after about 30+ episodes.
2: Meeting Koga's daughter Janie. She could've had a small arc where she joins Ash to gain the confidence of being the new Gym Leader while her father ascends as a member of the Elite Four.
3: Axew evolving sometime during BW, which would be a major step towards his goal.
4: Ash vs. Virgil, with the latter's Eevee evolving into Sylveon mid-battle. (Sylveon had already been revealed by this point).
5: Team Plasma being faithfully adapted to show actual grey-and-grey morality in the anime, with the cause of the split-up being Ash's friendship with Pikachu.
6: Several characters like Alain and Lusamine have full teams, but apart from their signatures, they're almost never seen (and the writers pretend they don't exist). They could've gotten more screen time.
