Scores from 1 to 5, in the atlas's own assessment.

Story score 5 out of 5 N and Team Plasma give the series its most ambitious plot.
Competitive score 3 out of 5 Sits at the average of the games in the atlas.
Difficulty score 3 out of 5 Sits at the average of the games in the atlas.
Nostalgia score 3 out of 5 Sits at the average of the games in the atlas.

Freedom score 1 out of 5 There is only one path.

Unova was a fresh start: until the credits, only brand-new species appear, as if it were the first game all over again. The plot puts you up against N and Team Plasma, who argue for the liberation of Pokémon, and the ending breaks the usual order of gyms, League and champion.

The sprites move all the time, the seasons change the map and the soundtrack reacts to the battle. The path, on the other hand, is an almost straight line.
