Emma had always dreamed of being a Gym Leader, not just a Pokémon Champion. When she heard about a fan-made game called Pokémon: This Gym of Mine , where you manage your own Gym in a quiet, monster-infested town, she was hooked. There was just one catch: she only had her Android phone. No PC. No console.

Now she runs the toughest Gym in the region, all from her Android phone during her bus ride home. “Don’t trust random ‘Pokémon This Gym of Mine APK’ sites. They’re often malware. Stick with the official game download from Relic Castle and use JoiPlay. It takes 10 minutes to set up, and then you’ve got endless hours of Gym leading.” Enjoy your journey, future Gym Leader

Here’s a helpful, step-by-step story-style guide to downloading and playing Pokémon: This Gym of Mine on Android.
