Except in this case we're not necessarily talking about 2 bags of Twix, it could be like 1 bag of Twix versus 2 bags that are 1/3 twix and 2/3 styrofoam.

Nope there is no could, we know exactly what's in Let's Go and previous Pokemon games. Only 151 + 2 new ones in Let's Go, whereas recent Pokemon games have those same 151 with more to do with them + hundreds more at a lower price.

Looking at Let's Go's sales, clearly a lot of people are quite happy to pay $60 for 152 Pokemon. 

If there really was a linear relationship between number of Pokemon and perceived value, then 20% as many Pokemon should net 20% as many sales, yet clearly Let's Go has done far better than that.
