Rarity of Pokemon
Jerry:
Rarity and stats of a Pokemon shouldn't be strongly related.
Maybe rarer pokemon would be worth more, but think about it for some time. Would you rather choose a pokemon for its rarity or for its integrity in your team to get synergy?
I'm sure experienced trainers would opt for the latter, because they need one pokemon for their team, irrespective of the rarity of that pokemon. Rarity is just like shiny pokemon. They are rare... but how are they ingame? They are no more powerful nor weaker than the other pokemon. They are just like them, but with another colour palette and some fuzzy animations.
Wyrdism:
Even with the synergy debate, 95% of pokemon would go good in a battle team rather than to show off, including the pokemon with a higher rarity scale, if something like that exists. As someones signature said, win with your favorites. Therefore, build your team around your favorites to create something solid.

Balance means that altough the pidgey can't beat a golem,many can but golem to shame.
Pokémon like Alakazam in 1st generation were overpowered.The only reliable ghost whas Gengar(can't remember another),and yet again alakazam could learn shadow ball to pwn Gengar...
Ofcourse some pokémon must be stronger then others,but balance is about having somethink to counter that strength.

In first gen the only reliable pokémon to defeat the psychic type was indeed gengar, or an bug-type pokemon like beedrill.
However, Gengar's poison type was weak against psychic making him no match for Alakazam. As well as the only ghost type attack there was was night-shade, so that made psychic type pokemon pretty much impossible to defeat.
Beedrill was the only pokemon with an useful bug-move (twineedle) but that one was also poison, making the psychic type still hard-to-defeat.
Butterfree didn't learn any bug moves, making jolteon (knowing pin missle) the only one who could actually do a super-effective move against these psychic friends because beedrill gets outrun, and gengar only knew nightshade and this only did 40 damage.

That would be my signature :)
The whole PU-balancing idea is to make sure that everyone could use their favourite pokémon (Even if it's something like a Farfetch'd or wooper) without always having to lose to a basic OU-team. You still will have to put some effort in it to raise in the proper way and build a solid team around it, but it won't be impossible anymore.

This is exactly why I think PU is gonna be the greatest pokemon thing ever.
I love battling with my Favorite pokemon, actually it's all I do. I mean is my team on PO pretty good, I think so. But, it's built only with pokemon I like, not with ones just because they are good. My team right now is Froslass, Scizor, Infernape, Weavile, Ferrothorn and Carracosta. These are some of my all time favoites from across the game. I don't care about rarity. I just like the way these guys look. lol
