The reason why generation five is my favorite is because of three major reasons.
The first and most notable is the villainess team which contributes to the amazing storyline. Generation five was essentially commentary on the entire concept of Pokémon. With one of the few times in gaming where the "villainous team" was arguably morally on the right side of the issue. Pokémon defends it's "universe" because it's battling within itself that conditions a better world, a world of trust and compassion, not the lack of battling.
This is why Black and White works so well, because they are absolutes representing opposite ideologies, when in all reality we find out that the world is much more complicated, much more gray. "battling can be good"
The second being the psychology behind Ghetsis. An evil man who created an organization catering around morality, bringing good people into it, while subsequently raising a gifted child with the organizations core ideology, one that is arguably good, to only use the success of good people to subsequently enact the ultimate evil. And it was successful. Unlike other Games, the villainous team actually won, they beat the champion, at least for a while. I mean, Cynthia would've likely taken down Cyrus if the player didn't.
Almost every single villainous team in the series has not been able to control the legendary Pokémon. Often that foils their plans, team plasma didn't have that problem because Ghetsis used N. He conditioned him to be good so Ghetsis could be bad.
Thirdly, it's fresh. And what you don't like with BW Pokémon wise, shouldn't be a problem in BW2. It does still have a number of good Pokémon, the region is reflective of the Yin Yang concept, a circle... The gym leaders are more involved than most gens... And so forth. That's just the tip of the iceberg too.
