When it comes to specific main series pokemon games, Black and White are easily the worst pokemon games to me.
These games are so shallow and boring, barely any new feature with just Rotation and Triple Battles as something new (and they are barely used in the game to make things worse), the region was so linear that it's literally an hallway. I could excuse this if they were focusing on story, but the story is so boring, terrible and the premise, while interesting, was extremely poorly handled.
The characters are just terrible with the exception of Bianca. N criticizes you for putting your pokemon through harsh battles and helding them inside pokeballs and yet he does the same thing, that makes him an hypocrite and an asshole, Ghetsis is just a boring, one dimensional and evil for the sake of being evil villain with no motivation and Cheren is so bland and uninteresting.
The post-game is terrible even by the first pair of a gen standards. The Battle Subway is just a straight up copy/paste of the previous ones with no improvement, Eastern Unova has like 10 trainers to beat and then there's nothing to do in it, the Looker sidequest of catching the sages (which btw are terrible characters too) is so boring and the only legendaries you can catch is Kyurem and a single member of the Forces of Nature if you don't get the other one through trade, if you do though you can catch Landorus, but that's still bad design.
