It's a prime example of a sequel that tries to cash in on the success of a popular show without keeping anything that made said show so enjoyable in the first place. You could rename the main character, change the name of the Rider and the show would still work, that's how bad of a follow-up it is. The only thing that clashes with that would be the episodes were Shadow Moon returns as he's the only character from Black to come back besides Kotaro himself, but that’s all really.
I think Black RX is underrated. It starts off really rough, but by the point where Robo- and Bioriders are introduced it can more than hold its own as a series.
It's ironic what you had to say about changing the main character to make it a unique show, though, because that's exactly the opposite of what happened. Black RX originally was a distinct show; it only became a sequel to Black fairly late in the day after the original series proved to be so popular.

Dekaranger almost had a second season, but unfortunately we got Magiranger instead de gozarimasu desu.
