    Top 10 Must-Visit Pokémon Gyms: Your Adventure Guide!

    Pokémon: This Gym of Mine is a fan-made Pokémon game that offers a unique twist on the traditional Pokémon gameplay. Instead of playing as a trainer traveling across the region to defeat gym leaders, you take on the role of a gym leader yourself. Below are key details about the game:

    Gameplay and Features

    • Role as a Gym Leader: You are assigned to Umbal City as its new gym leader after the previous one mysteriously left. Your responsibilities include defending your gym, battling challengers, and handing out badges to worthy trainers.
    • Specialization: Players choose a Pokémon type to specialize in for their gym. Your team must primarily consist of Pokémon of this type or Pokémon that can use your gym's signature move.
    • Gym Progression: The game features a ranking system where you start as a low-tier gym and work your way up. As your rank increases, challengers become stronger, making battles more challenging.
    • City Building: Beyond battles, you help rebuild Umbal City by constructing new structures and improving its overall condition. This adds a town-building element to the game.

    Storyline

    • City in Disrepair: Umbal City is struggling when you arrive, with vacant lots and skeptical townsfolk. Part of your role is to restore the city's reputation.
    • Antagonists: A gang has appeared in the city, causing trouble and adding a layer of conflict to the storyline.

    Unique Mechanics

    • Limited Exploration: Unlike traditional Pokémon games, exploration is more localized around your city and its surrounding areas. This shift emphasizes managing your duties as a gym leader rather than traveling across an entire region.
    • Challenger Battles: Trainers visit your gym to challenge you, and you must defend it while adhering to specific rules about your team composition.

    Availability

    The game is available as a downloadable fan project on platforms like Relic Castle and PokeCommunity. It has gained attention for its creative approach to the Pokémon formula and its engaging mechanics for fans who want a fresh perspective on the series.
