Sorry. I really like those Gen5 games.
I agree BW2 were better than the third versions that came before them! But I don't think the small amount of extra content justified there being B2 and W2. They should have just made one single sequel game with an option at the start to pick Black or White or whatever, you know? There weren't enough differences between B2 and W2 to make them worth separate titles imo.

Third versions like Platinum, Emerald etc. were never that interesting. BW2 were better but they didn't need to make 2 of them. xD And now they're doing the same with US/UM. At that point it just seems like a money grab. :/I feel like I just played through SM and didn't like it all that much so that doesn't help, I guess. If they released remakes of Kanto or Sinnoh and THEN released US/UM, they might be more exciting as we've had a bit of a break. BW and BW2 had 2 years between them, while SM and USUM will only have 1 year.
