The problem is that, despite the additions, a weak plot, poor pacing, and an overabundance of easily-defeated Pokemon mean it's just not as good as the games that came before it. It's not exactly the same as its predecessor there have been a number of tweaks, functionally and aesthetically, and the plot's (sort of) new too. Given that it's the first numbered sequel in the series, it's even less of a version shift than seen in previous games. Black 2 is pretty much exactly what you'd expect, then. After all, it's a formula that works, and that people enjoy, and one thing you can never accuse the main entry Pokemon games of is forgetting their roots. The core Pokemon games are notorious for sticking to a tried, tested, and very familiar formula.
