Disney Crossy RoadvsPokémon Pinball
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Disney Crossy Road
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A reflex endless-hopper dodging randomized traffic for distance.
Pokémon Pinball
Execution · Twitch Chaos
Flipper execution and table knowledge with Pokémon-catching RNG on top.
Disney Crossy Road leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Pokémon Pinball leans Execution (Twitch Chaos).

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 6
Disney Crossy Road leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Disney Crossy Road
Precise tap timing to dodge traffic decides survival
Pokémon Pinball
Flipper timing and nudge control are the whole input
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Disney Crossy Road
Solo endless runner, no opponent to predict
Pokémon Pinball
A pinball table has no mind
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Disney Crossy Road
Traffic and obstacle spawns are randomized hazards
Pokémon Pinball
Ball physics and catch-mode rolls add real randomness
Optimization3 vs 4
Pokémon Pinball leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Disney Crossy Road
Pattern recognition of lane timing improves runs slightly
Pokémon Pinball
Mode routing and table knowledge raise scores predictably
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
