I'm not really surprised with the ratings that changed from OS to Best Wishes. Like some people said here, back in 1997 the TV was the only way to watch and catch up with the Pokemon episodes, so every kid who's interested would've HAD to use the TV. And as time goes by the media developed. For now, there would be more people watching BW on the Internet than the TV. I mean, if you want to watch it on TV you have to sit on the sofa and turn on the channel right when it airs, but using the Internet you can watch whenever you want. Which is preferrable? The latter.
Also, about BW's ratings dropping? Well, to me, it doesn't seem like a big decline, but yeah - a lot of people would've expected Team Plasma to appear. Even though the anime is targeted to young kids, there are still older fans who play the games and watch the anime as well. But the TR vs TP episode being put off indefinitely, it would've been a big disappoint because many would've been looking forward to it. Not using TP in the anime episodes had been rather a big mistake to me - because to many, this is the Unova arc where the plot is based on BW. TR isn't really supposed to be the main villain here.
