Difficult to say to be honest
Pontaff's stories are mediocre as fuck, weird edgy shit that doesn't fit the games are shoved in at random times (like Eggman going "I'll get fat by eating your BLACK HEARTS!" out of nowhere) and the characterization was very poor, just look at Tails for his games
Flynn on the other hand, cannot for the fucking life of him STOP REFERENCING OLD MATERIAL. He lacks the creative writing ability to build his own story and themes without constantly throwing in your face "WOAH THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT TIME WITH DARK GAIA/WOAH THIS IS LIKE PERFECT CHAOS/ WITHOUT THE TIME STONES!?/ AHA, I FOUND YOU, FAKER!!!" and it's extremely obnoxious. His stories are also mediocre nothing burgers that do the bare minimum of presenting the illusion of "character growth" and "change"
Honestly they both suck. Bring back Akinori Nishiyama and Shiro Maekawa. They aren't perfect but they understand the characters and themes even if flawed at times and know how to do entertaining stories
