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.

You don't know my parents then haha. That's why what the consumer does with the product shouldn't be a factor since it's completely variable from person to person. Are you saying 100 bananas isn't a better value than 10 at the same price?  Having more options like eating more bananas than usual and giving some away are always good, plus you just have to eat 11 to benefit.

I'm saying that at some point there's diminishing returns to having more. I agree with you on the fact there seems to be more content in the old mainline Pokémon than in Let's Go but I don't agree with the conclusion it's a cash grab or a rip-off because should the mechanics of Let's Go appeal more to someone than the old formula, the amount of Pokémon available isn't that big a factor.
