Why compare fangames at all? Each of them is usually in a different league of their own, mainly because the setting and the story completely differ from each other. Comparing them to each other is is like comparing a strawberry with a cucumber, tbh.
-
I do think though there are aspects that can be compared. You focused mainly on art and storitelling, which are as you said unique for each game and hard to compare. However, as all fangames use pokemon's mechanics, things such as level design or distribution of resources (money, pokemon, items...) are pretty similar in different fangames and can be compared pretty easily.
-
I think comparing has value without being disrespectfull of the creators. You can compare fangames to make a a ranking on the different aspects of a fangame. This does not mean that one is inherintly better then the other but you compare them to give others a reference point. If I were to explain rejuvination intense mode, I would say it is harder then reborn but not as hard as reborn hardcore. Does that mean I am saying one is better then the other no.

@Lugruf I agree with that point but that falls into the category of genres. Pokemon is a turn based RPG in which fangames have two subgenres of Fangame and hacks. I could break it down more, but it is not necessary. (At this point I should make a thread).
When games are all similar and shape a genre then you should refer to that when giving comparisons as it has standards and what people expect. And yeah it is okay to talk about how different fangames do this or that as everybody does and should do that. It brings discussion which benefits both games.
What Zumi is referring to is when someone gives feedback to help improve a fangame. Giving a straight comparison to a single game gives so many bad impressions such as "my game isn't good enough to be thought of its own thing" and "my game has to be like so and so or it is not good." While this is a little extreme, these things do leave a bad impact instead of focusing on a genre. The cool thing about using the term genre is that you can reference other works to say what they did and have no need to compare them. So much better than saying That the Story or Battles aren't as good as Pokemon Edgelord.
