Pokémon PinballvsSki Safari
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Pokémon Pinball
Execution · Twitch Chaos
Flipper execution and table knowledge with Pokémon-catching RNG on top.
Ski Safari
Execution · Pure Mechanics
An endless skiing runner testing reactive jump timing down a slope.
Pokémon Pinball leans Execution (Twitch Chaos); Ski Safari leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 7
Ski Safari leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Pokémon Pinball
Flipper timing and nudge control are the whole input
Ski Safari
Tap timing for jumps and mounts drives distance
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Pokémon Pinball
A pinball table has no mind
Ski Safari
Solo - no opponent to predict
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Pokémon Pinball
Ball physics and catch-mode rolls add real randomness
Ski Safari
Avalanche and terrain spawns randomized each run
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Pokémon Pinball
Mode routing and table knowledge raise scores predictably
Ski Safari
Animal-mount switching strategy extends runs modestly
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.
