I like this kind of subject the most. Makes me wanna write some fanfic
Pokemon should be little more than animal, and no near the same to human(except pokes like Gardevoir)
Hmm. On the training and battling, how it would be more violent then portrayed in the video games. I think that it'd be similar to the anime. I think you simply go until one of the Pokemon in KO'ed. That's when a ref or the trainers step in. If you intentionally let your Pokemon wreak havoc, obviously your license is going to be taken away, and your Pokemon.
Well, the ref should stepped in when situation like a pokemon still have determination to battle but the body is heavily injured while the trainer doesn't really realized. That one of the example by the way.
I think training would be harder than in the games too. Obviously, you can't sit there and knock our a bunch of random Pidgeys, and level up. It could very much take years to get Pokemon to evolve, because they have to mature mentally and physically to go thru the stress of changing body form completely. Pokemon like Growlithe that require a stone to evolve, though, I think you would still be able to evolve them whenever.
The years needed for pokemon to evolve is depend on its species. Hardly trained Weedle just need 3 weeks to evolve into beedrill, while Pidgey to Pidgeotto should only take a few months and 2 year at least to evolve Pidgeot. But the farther the evolution is, the harder you'll need to train them. One might consider to halt a pokemon evolution to make it easier for them to be trained.
Gym are the place for training obviously. Specific gym will teach you more on specific type about on handling pokemon of those type and to train them effectively. So specializing in one type sometimes will benefit a trainer if they really master those type.
I gave more thought to a Pokemon Academy, and I believe that this type of school would be intergrated with real life school. I think that they'd teach you the basics, what you need to know, in 6-8 grade, or junior high. Then in 9-12, or high school, you could chose to go to a regular high school or go to a Trainers Academy. Later in life you could obviously go to a Trainers Academy for classes, but until you graduate a TA, you cannot obtain a trainers license.
I think there should be separate school though. One is academy that focus on training pokemon(namely battle, coordinate, and breed) and normal school. Because not all problem are sourced from pokemon. Scientist that work for Silph Co. for example, they have their education through normal schools as developing things like pokeball are more scientific.
:
- How would Pokemon effect everyday life? Think school, work, hospitals, police stations, restraunts, etc.
School like I theorized should be separated into two kind of schools. Police mostly have psychic pokemon. Why? because they need to ward off dangerous wild pokemon like gastly, haunter, gengar, or drowzee.
- How would the government handle citizens having control over these massive powerful creatures? Pokemon registration?
I imagine that Pokemon League are the single body of organization that govern over all pokemon specific matters.
That's why trainer license is needed and training is portrayed as things that not everybody could do.
- How would Pokemon being real effect your life as it is now? Think realisticly!
I would regularly watch tournaments in the TV obviously.
- What is the difference between regular water and a Pokemon's water type attack? Why can fire Pokemon go swimming, and bathe, and not faint?
That's another thing for a professor to discover :P
I can only imagine that if Pokemon existed in the real world we wouldn't have anything like what you see in the games. I would think our world would go something like this:

Starting in the 1960s, but with echoes going back to the late 19th century and its upsurge of anti-vivisection laws and societies, it became unfashionable in most parts of the western world to raise Pokemon for the purpose of battling. For decades before it had been a contentious issue with many religious traditionalists and other moral crusaders, culminating in the brief period when the United States outlawed all Pokemon breeding and battling (except those with necessary medical benefits) with its 21st amendment to the Constitution. Even after this was negated Pokemon were still kept away from "polite" society and it was not until 1947 (and the weakening of the Hays Code) that Pokemon battles were even shown in motion pictures.
In other parts of the world Pokemon had seen a variety of reactions and changes over the last century. In Japan where they had once been regarded as spirits and other supernatural beings they have, since the end of World War II, been incorporated into local customs and religious ceremonies as symbols of peace and harmony between people and the environment. In both the Soviet and Chinese communist revolutions Pokemon played important roles in overthrowing the existing governments thanks to the intense training they were put through by revolutionaries, but some have claimed they had been and continue to be exploited and mistreated.
Under the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Pokemon Rights (adopted in 1994) it became illegal under international law to engage in Pokemon battles. However, this has not prevented some nations and extremist groups from engaging in covert programs to breed Pokemon specifically for battling as a way of supplementing their incomes through gambling and trafficking. In very rare cases they have used Pokemon in attacks on humans.
Pokemon ownership continues to rise, particularly in the developing world as conditions improve and people's lives become more conducive to raising Pokemon. It is hoped that by 2030 every family in the world will have at least one Pokemon.

And so on.
That's if we take similar history, moral view, and value of our earth. But I think pokemon world will have much more different moral value and view than us. Especially if the turn of history in pokemon world are done by people who view pokemon battle as chivalrous thing.
I take that Pokemon World is an alternate world with alternate history, moral value and view than us now. Because if it not like that, we will taking all the fun you know :P
"realistic" is different to "real world" I believe.
