Gen V suffers from a lot of "what Pokémon is that, again?" simply because it's so large. 156 mons is a lot to remember in one chunk, and it didn't have the benefit of Gen 1 nostalgia. Also, many of the designs are intentional retreads of Kanto lines. I hate the genies as much as anyone, but they're not the reason Unova was largely overlooked.
