Use ListPlot for discrete data.

Needs["Graphics`"];

n = 5; 
x = Table[i, {i, -n, n}]; 
y1[x_] := x; 
y2[x_] := x^2; 
y3[x_] := x^3; 
p1 = {#,y1[#]}&/@x; 
p2 = {#,y2[#]}&/@x; 
p3 = {#,y3[#]}&/@x; 
Plot[{y1[x], y2[x], y3[x]}, {x, -n, n},PlotRange->All]; 
DisplayTogether[
    ListPlot[#,PlotJoined->True,PlotRange->All]&/@
      {p1,p2,p3}];

But somehow, when I used Plot[] for my dataset, its giving me error saying 'not a machine-size real number at x=1.0000+'. The command MultipleListPlot works great.
