He doesn't suck. In fact with each generation he's gotten better.

His physical movepool is better than his special. You can do Sword Dance, Earthquake, Petal Blizzard, and then whatever for the last move. I see people talk about Draon Tail or a status move, but in S/V he gets a couple new toys like Body Press, Knock Off, and Zen Headbutt, so he has even more coverage moves.

Fighting + Ground is great coverage for things that wall Grass, since Grass both offensively and Defensively sucks. While it can wreck Water/Rock/Ground, 7 types resist it while it has a whopping 5 weaknesses with 2 of them being common (fire and ice.... the very thing Fighting and Ground wrecks)

Body press works well with Meganium because both of it's defensive stats are higher than it's attack stats, but Body Press also still uses the attack modifiers, so it would gain the benefit from Sword Dance.

I’ve had the best luck by hitting “Download All”, which seems to force a download of everything even if its “quota” has been hit.

My laptop shits itself when I try that. Some downloads go through, but most fail and end up as .PART files.

Interestingly the music here is a remix of the main Pokemon theme.
 
Feraligatr is better.

ice/normal/dark aren't as good a weakness set for meganium because there are simply better answers on a team to handle them with good comp, because meganium doesn't take up the same niche as most fighting types, or pokemon with good fighting coverage.
 
The musical development of BW is interesting, it seems this track was leaked 13 years ago possibly by Masuda himself if the comment from uploader is to be believed
Other than that, many of the tracks were settled on very early. Iccarus City was likely one of the first tracks made and recycled for all early cities, Dreamyard similarly for all dungeons and Route 2 for all routes. The video above was used as a base for all battles in the game(Wild/Trainer/Gym) and the tracks we have now only came relatively late. Black City and the Black version of Opelucid must have came after White version, since they use that style as a base. There is plenty of minor variations as well, but the weirdest part is the test tracks they used. RS had tracks taken straight from Crystal and imported to test the new soundfont, but BW have...Monster Hunter music, old Emerald music and Firestarter by Prodigy, all crunched up.
Very interesting stuff, can't wait to see what else we have documented so far.

Was looking at some footage of the gen 5 beta builds and they seem so broken and bare featuring test stuff that should have been finished by the end of d/p development, makes me wonder if gamefreak rewrote the entire engine or major parts of it during b/w development.

This is likely the case, as they wanted to go full 3D. They tested things out and must not have liked the results, so they decided to make the game 2.5D like the DS titles but with more emphasis on the 3D parts.
