It's not nazism, it's being unimaginative.
GF thought outside the box with BW.
The story is not completely different, but it's the most distinct out of the games, because of the inclusion of N. While Ghetsis had the same motives as Giovanni, N was the character that made BW's story truly stand out.
Also, the new Pokémon. It truly took some balls to include only new Pokémon during the main storyline. They knew people would complain, yet they went on with it. And, guess what, it worked! While Gen V's Pokémon aren't the best competitively, there are very few Pokémon that aren't useful during the main storyline. They tried to do the same back with Gen III but they gave us some Gen I/II tokens and also made the then-new Pokémon too similar to what already existed, so the choice of Pokémon wasn't completely new.
Sincerely, I'd rather GF did what they've done with BW than another HGSS. While HGSS is my favourite game of the series (because I love Johto), let's face it, it was easy to make it good. They already had a fantastic game to base themselves on (GSC), they just had to complete what they couldn't back in 1999 when the GBC's constraints stopped them. Then they added features that newer games had (such as gym leader rematches).
I think I'm the only one who didn't like much the HGSS system of a Pokémon following you. I mean, it was cool at first, but then I didn't care all that much about it because you couldn't choose which Pokémon would follow you. It would always be the first Pokémon in the party. I didn't like it because of that.
So you're saying different is always good?
I'd like to see you try that excuse on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. That movie was certainly different than the brilliant Original Trilogy, and it was awful. However, under your logic, it would be good simply because it was different?
