Because salty Genwun boomers were THAT triggered when they realized that BW didn't have all the Genwun shitmons that they wanted to see littered all over the region. Nostalgiababbies hate seeing anything that doesn't pander to their childhoods, so Gen V automatically holds a special place of hatred in their hearts, to the point where most probably never even gave B2W2, some of the most well-made and content-filled remakes in the series, a chance and just wrote Gen V off completely. (Not gonna lie, though, B2W2 were also royally fucked over by timing; Gen VI and XY were pretty much around the corner and the DS was dying when B2W2 were coming out)
