"It made it kiddy".
Because it wasn't already a show for kids.
Well, it could have had a wider appeal instead of just for children.
Actually, having attempted to go through all of the DB/Z series but ultimately quitting for that very reason, yes, I do know exactly how boring and useless filler is. Even if it's above average like DB/Z is. It's the kind of stuff that could kill your interest in pretty much anything.
Points BW has over DP: BW does not have the worst character in the anime (Paul). Let\'s just say this alone puts BW leagues ahead of DP, but I don\'t want to go on a rant right now.
BW has actually threatening Team Rocket (though at the cost of their personalities).
In BW,for the first time, Ash\'s ace isn\'t a regional starter.
BW has Cilan and his Connoisseur nonsense.
Ash actually catches more than 5 Pokemon and regularly rotates them.
I could go on, but BW has a lot of points over DP, ignoring Ash\'s mental reset.

Black and White season SUCKS!
Here's a problem with the Black and White anime that makes it so bad. The thing is, it removes all the experience and all the good moments that made the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl anime so good. It make it kiddy, and it "rebooted" Ash back to the stupid 10-year-old he was in Kanto, a season I didn't like at all.
In the early seasons, Brock doesn't come back, and Team Rocket is made serious. You'd really like that considering how annoying Brock and Team Rocket were, but they made the spirit of the anime. They made it funny. With the new characters and the new Team Rocket, you would be begging for Brock and the old, stupid TR that blasted off to come back. Not only that, but Ash's Pokemon battles (and the Pokemon themselves) are really sucky and I feel that they only appeal to the weeaboos who go "kawaii, desu" and all that.
The later seasons try to focus on nostalgia, like with Ash's Charizard coming back, but those later seasons are really lackluster because Ash's Charizard doesn't actually do anything relevant in the story. Also, Ash's Butterfree never comes back, even though an episode really implied it. I forgot to mention that Team Rocket comes back to their goofy selves, but it's not as entertaining as it was in the earlier seasons.
To sum it up, the Black and White season is a season that doesn't know what it should do. It tries to "reboot" the series, but eventually near the later seasons it tries (and fails) at being nostalgic to older fans.
TL;DR, it is bad and you shouldn't watch it.
EDIT: One thing about this season that gives it a high advantage over DP and XY is that there's barely any filler. You have no idea how boring and useless filler is.
