How to Play Pokemon Uranium on Android: A Full Setup Guide

Unfortunately, this isn't the world's most simple process but it also isn't super hard since we have put everything in one place for you. Traditionally you'd be hunting all over the Internet for this stuff but you can now find all the downloads for Pokemon Uranium below as well as a full set up guide.

Step 1: Download and Install Joiplay

Joiplay is a game launcher that lets you run RPG Maker games (like Pokémon Uranium) on Android. Unfortunately, the version available on the Google Play Store doesn’t work for this purpose, so you’ll need to download the APK directly from Joiplay’s website.

1. Download Joiplay Game Launcher:
   Head over to the official Joiplay website and download the APK file:
   Download Joiplay

2. Install Joiplay:
   Once the APK is downloaded, open it and install it on your Android device. Make sure your device allows installations from unknown sources in your settings.

Step 2: Download and Install RPGM Plugin

To run Pokémon Uranium, you’ll also need the RPGM Plugin for Joiplay, which enables RPG Maker games to run smoothly.

1. Download the RPGM Plugin:
   You can download the plugin from this link:
   Download RPGM Plugin

2. Install the RPGM Plugin:
   After downloading, install the plugin just as you did with Joiplay. This is essential for the game to function properly.

Step 3: Download Pokémon Uranium

Now it’s time to download the game itself. The official version of Pokémon Uranium is available as a .zip file.

1. Download Pokémon Uranium:
   Use the following link to download the latest version of Pokémon Uranium:
   Download Pokemon Uranium

2. Extract the .zip file:
   Once downloaded, you’ll need to extract the game files from the .zip folder. If you don’t have an unzipper on your phone, you can download a tool like WinRAR from the Google Play Store.
   Download WinRAR

3. Use WinRAR to extract the Pokémon Uranium files. This may take a few minutes, depending on your device’s speed.

Step 4: Set Up Pokémon Uranium in Joiplay

Now that you’ve installed Joiplay, the RPGM Plugin, and downloaded Pokémon Uranium, it’s time to set up the game.

• Launch the Joiplay app on your Android device.

• In Joiplay, tap the Add Game button. You’ll need to navigate to the folder where you extracted Pokémon Uranium.

• Find the Uranium.exe file within the extracted folder and select it. This will install Pokémon Uranium in Joiplay.

• During the installation, you might get a few pop-ups asking for confirmation. Just confirm them, and the game should install successfully.

Step 5: Launch Pokémon Uranium

Once the installation is complete, you can launch Pokémon Uranium directly from Joiplay. The game may crash on the first launch, but simply try reopening it if this happens. I have no clue why this happens but it never causes any more issues. The second attempt should work fine.

IMPORTANT: If you get a message about RPG Maker XP RTP while launching the game, you might need to install the RTP (Runtime Package) for RPG Maker XP. This is required to play the game.

• If prompted, download and install RPG Maker XP from the pop-up.

• Once downloaded, try launching the game again. The same pop-up will appear.

• Tap Choose, select the file you just downloaded, and install it. After doing this, the game should run without further issues.
