I feel that a good deal of the pokemon designs were absolutely poor in this series of games.
I also don't like the fact that they let the cutscene times get a little out of hand. Gen 1~3 knew they had to keep their Cutscene times at a minimum because of how much data they could work with, but BW1 felt like with that restriction lifted, they did a 180 and had to implement a cutscene every 200 steps or so, trying to become a true JRPG.
Ill openly admit, at my end, the fact there wasn't a Zubat or a Geodude I could catch affected me at the time because of Genwunner syndrome + not liking most of the designs (First pokemon in Unova I caught because I liked it was Deerling, rather than a need to fill out the team)
