Yeah! Mudbrays are good ones for those, because even when they're small they're really strong and then they grow up to be giant, but there's all kinds that you can ride on. Miltanks, Tauros, Rapidashes, Luxrays... I mean, when I went to this race a year ago, I even saw a guy strapped down on his Wailmer as it bounced down the track. And, uh, there's flying pokemon too and those get around really fast, but you need to get a license or permit to fly on them if you're a Trainer and teach 'em special moves if they don't learn on their own.
Though even without the permit, you can be flown by someone else, as long as the person directing the Pokemon has it. There's these guys call Ubirds who operate flying taxis on big event days. A lot of 'em have big flying pokemon that can carry baskets or gondolas where their passengers sit.
And yeah, people buy Pokemon! Especially as eggs or babies from breeders, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's people who catch 'em just to sell 'em to to pet stores.
[And also, Greg wouldn't be surprised if the pokemon that Team Rocket steals ends up on some weird black market. It would make sense.]
