How to download an Android emulator on PC

Following the considerable diffusion of Android smartphones and tablets, as well as iPhones and iPads, the development of many Pokémon games has turned to these platforms, as these are much more accessible to many players.

There are in fact several Pokémon themed games on mobile devices but, in case your device is not performing enough from the hardware point of view and therefore does not support the download, you can turn to the use of an Android emulator . Thanks to the latter you can, in fact, emulate the Android operating system on your computer and thus make sure you download and play Pokémon games.

In this regard, in the following lines I will illustrate how to download and configure  BlueStacks , one of the most famous Android emulators, so that you can use it for the purpose you have proposed. BlueStacks, in fact, is one of the best  free Android emulators and can be installed and configured in a simple and immediate way, thus not requiring complex procedures for its use. Before starting, however, I would like to point out that, since this emulator is free, inside you will find advertising banners that come in the form of recommendations for the installation of sponsored apps. If you want to remove them, you need to purchase a subscription at a price of $ 4 / month or $ 40 / year.

To download this software, connect on the website  and, on the main page displayed, first press the Download BlueStacks button , then click Download , to start downloading the installation file.

Then wait for the executable file to be completely downloaded on your computer (it may take a few minutes),  in order to begin the installation procedure of the emulator on Windows and macOS, through the instructions I am about to give you.

To install BlueStacks on Windows , after downloading the executable file ( .exe ), double-click on it to start it and then press the Yes button if prompted in the User Account Control window  . Now click on the item Install now , then wait for the automatic download of all the files necessary for the correct functioning of the program. When done, click the Complete button .

On macOS , on the other hand, after having downloaded the file with the .dmg extension , start it by double clicking on it. On the next screen, double click on the emulator icon, in order to start the installer and confirm your willingness to start the program by pressing the Open button .

Once this is done, first click on Continue and then on Install , type your Mac’s administration password and click on Install assistant . At this point, wait a few minutes for the automatic installation to be completed, then press the Open system preferences button , if required.

This will open the Mac settings panel : in this section, first click on Allow and then press the lock icon , located at the bottom left. We’re almost there: to finish installing the BlueStacks emulator on macOS, type your Mac password once again and then press Unlock .

After installing BlueStacks you need to configure it using a Google account you have. In this case, the procedure for doing this is the same for both Windows and macOS.

Then click on Start , then indicate your email address (or your phone number ) and password in the appropriate text fields you see on the screen. Now press first on Next , then on I accept and finally on  Start using BlueStacks .

After all these preliminary operations you can finally see the BlueStacks home screen and you can then start using the Android emulator to download Pokémon games to your computer.

Then click on the PlayStore icon (it is called Google Play ) in order to start the virtual store of Android devices through which to download Pokémon games on PC, through the procedures I am about to provide you.

How to download Pokémon games on PC

Once you have launched the Google Play Store you can use this virtual store to download all the Pokémon games that are available on Android.

What I advise you to do first is to locate the list of all Pokémon games published on Android mobile devices in order to view them and choose which one to download.

Then click on the bar at the top corresponding to the wording Google Play in order to display the text field dedicated to the search and, through the internal search engine, you will then have to type the term Pokémon then pressing the Enter button from the keyboard of your computer in order to confirm the desire to filter the search, thus displaying all the Pokémon games present in the Android Play Store.

Downloading a game through this emulator is very simple as you will have to perform the exact same operation that is done to download games on Android mobile devices. Then click on the icon of the game or app you want to download and then click on the Install button and then on the Accept button to start the download.

If you are asked to complete the configuration of your account, click on the Continue button and, if you are asked to add a payment option, click on the Ignore button to avoid adding a payment method: it is in fact an option not mandatory.

At the end of the download for the game you will be able to view the Open button on the screen through which you can start the game and play it on your computer through this emulator. Good fun!
