The retarded time limit is there so that kids won't be glued to the computer trying to rack up points and hunt for specific Pokemon which is as you said random as hell. Limits us adults too from sneaking a couple of games at work. I've no issue with the time limit. The number of Pokemon that you can take with you is admittedly the biggest issue I have.

I found a Pineco and a female Swinub which had Thick Fat, an extremely useful ability in one playthrough. I went with the Swinub even if that Pineco would have evolved into a much cooler Forretress.

Ultimately, B/W2 feel more like expansions to the already good Black and White. Problem is its not in obvious places. If you are into EV/IV breeding and training, Shiny Pokemon etc etc...B/W2 actually helps make things much more easier. You can check general EVs with a call to Bianca, you can get a rough feel for IVs through the Ace Trainer in Gear Station. Tired of killing Basculins for Speed EVs? No sweat, just pop into Join Avenue where you've hopefully opened a Fitness Corner and put your Pokemon through a LV 30 speed training to increase the Effort in that one stat. Made a mistake in the EVs? Head down to the Beauty Salon and reset all the EVs back to 0.

To me personally, it seems like Black/White 2 focuses on making life easier for the "competitive" Pokemon players to Breed and train their Pokemon. Heck, I only learned about EV/IV stuff less than a month ago and thanks to all the features B/W2 provide it makes things a hell of a lot more easier to grasp.
