Value is inherently subjective, particularly when you are describing it with money, which is not anything stable.

But, hey, let's go with your logic.  

Pokemon Go has 417 Pokemon.  For 0 dollars.  

If the value of a Pokemon game is solely on the number of Pokemon, then Pokemon go is objectively the most valuable game.  Not just by a little, but by a literally infinite amount.  By comparison, Sun and Moon are objectively worthless and clearly a despicable cash grab.  I mean, 802 Pokemon for 40 dollars, vs 417 for ZERO DOLLARS?

Pokemon Go is an amazing value.  Sun and Moon is a cash grab.  Fact. 

Objective value is most certainly a thing, i.e. a 2lb bag of Twix is straight up more valuable than a 1lb bag for the same price.

Ha, you're really so naive to think I'm saying that's the sole reason. That's just the biggest point is all.

Alrighty then, one is free to have that opinion. Plenty of people think this series as a whole is a cash grab, and that's perfectly ok.

I think the Twix comparison doesn't work since if you buy a 2lb bag of Twix, even if takes you a year, you'll eventually eat 2lb of Twix. I'd say you could do an analogy with bananas. 20 bananas is better value than 10 bananas but buying 100 bananas isn't really good value since there's so many you'll never get to enjoy.
