Building things definitely. Probably other jobs as well, like psychic types working with the police. They might even be waiters or taxi drivers. Bigger ones could be used as transportation. Electric types at power plants. Grass types with farms.

Guys, Pokemon aren't real so... if they were real, they could probably do anything we want.

The only main purpose for Pokemon is battling... there are some cool things you can do such as PokeAmie in XY/ORAS, contests or game slots. But the main reason you play Pokemon is to battle with them.

Way to play along KorpiklaaniVodka :P

I imagine they could be used in medical ways as well, Jigglypuff would make a nice replacement to sleep-inducing medication.

Obviously the only real thing you can do in the games is battling, but in the real world for pokemon (like the anime) you could do a lot more with pokemon like flying on them, but there'd obviously be limitations.

I think there can be hundreds of uses for Pokemon in the real world, for e.g. Water Pokemon with Rain Dance can be used to solve droughts, Electric Pokemon can be used to generate electricity, which can save a lot of power & reduce global warming. :)

What other purposes do you think Pokemon can be used for, apart from battling, in real life or just a fantasy!
...Doesn't the franchise as a whole already explain this in-depth?

Just off the top of my head in 30 seconds:
- Friends
- Caretakers
- Manual labor/construction
- Performers/entertainers
- Research partners
- Research subjects
- Guardians
- Pets
- Service industry
- Health industry
- Sanitation industry

...?

"Sinnoh Folk Story 1"
Pick clean the bones of Pokémon
caught in the sea or stream.
Thank them for the meals they
provide, and pick their bones clean.
When the bones are as clean as can
be, set them free in the water from
which they came.
The Pokémon will return, fully
fleshed, and it begins anew.
"Sinnoh Folk Story 2"
There lived a Pokémon in a forest.
In the forest, the Pokémon shed its
hide to sleep as a human.
Awakened, the human dons the
Pokémon hide to roam villages.
"Sinnoh Folk Story 3"
There once were Pokémon that
became very close to humans.
There once were humans and Pokémon
that ate together at the same table.
It was a time when there existed no
differences to distinguish the two.
Notes
The first story is another example of Pokémon being eaten as food by humans.
Sinnoh Folk Story 2 is reminiscent of the Scottish tales of selkies.
In the literal translation of Sinnoh Folk Story 3, the myth originally referred to Pokémon and people marrying each other.
Sinnoh Folk Story 2 also addresses evolution in the Pokémon world from Pokémon to man, as could Sinnoh Folk Story 3.

This is your answer.

I would like to use my flying pokemon as a transportation to avoid heavy traffic. Maybe Ho-oh... assuming I will not get burned.

I think that would be the most useful thing you can get out of a Pokemon, avoiding all the traffic rush. But if I were you I wouldn't want to be sitting on Ho-Oh :P

What about just filling your PC and PokéDex? Lol jk

Pokémon have a lot of purposes. One could be to help and maybe also be used to serve and rule.

And also save the world.
What?

Pokemon could help out in lots of ways.

They could be pets.
They could help you with everyday tasks such as cleaning and cooking and stuff.
They could keep you company when you are alone/lonely.
They could be used to do jobs such as Firefighters and Police Officers and such.
There so many different things Pokemon could do other than battling.
