How do you summon a Gemini monster in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Gemini Monsters are normal or special summoned as normal, but when they arrive on the field, they are considered Normal Monsters and have no effects. The next time you are allowed to Normal Summon, you can 'second summon' them, ie, they count as being summoned again, even though they never leave the field. This turns them into effect monsters and switches on their effect. Note that if you are trying to 'second summon' a Lv5 or higher monster, no tribute is needed.
How does a Gemini monster work in Yu-Gi-Oh?
A Gemini monster is a special kind of Effect monster that is treated as a Normal Monster with no effects when initially summoned to the field. At any time after this that you can perform another Normal Summon, you can choose to 'summon it again' (in the OCG, this is called a 'second summon') and it then becomes aneffect monster with the listed effects.So, Player A, in his main phase, Normal Summons Blazewing Butterfly. It is a Normal Monster, with no effects. In his next turn, he can use his turn's Normal Summon to 'Gemini Summon' the Blazewing Butterfly, which will turn it into an effect monster with the effects on the card. Anything that grants additional Normal Summons can speed this process up.The card doesn't leave the field at any point, you are performing the summon on a card that is already on the field, and it does not require tribute in the case of a high level Gemini monster. But since it's considered a Normal Summon, it can be negated, and summon-responsive cards like Torrential Tribute can be used against it. Because it never leaves the field, any cards equipped to it, will remain equipped, any bonuses, conditions and counters will be retained also.
Can a monster attack the same turn it was Normal or Special Summoned?
Yes, unless the card itself or another card on the field says so, a monster can attack on the same turn it was Normal or Special Summoned.
Can a normal summoned monster attack in the same turn that you also special summon a different monster?
Yes of course. Special summoning never affects what can attack or not, unless specifically stated otherwise. You could normal summon and special summon a monster in main phase 1 and attack with both.
If you special summon a monster can you normal summon a monster the same turn?
Yes, a Special Summon of any kind does not count towards your limit of one Normal Summon or Set per turn. You can Special Summon as many times a s you want per turn.
What happens to a Special Summoned Gemini monster?
The answer to this question can vary. Unless the card that Special Summoned the Gemini Monster specifically says otherwise, the Gemini Monster will be treated as a Normal Monster. If you have not already Normal Summoned this turn, you can perform said action on the Special Summoned Gemini Monster. There may be cards such as Black Brutdrago that states "The Special Summoned monster is treated as an Effect Monster, and gains its effect." In this case, as it states, the Special Summoned monster gains its effect while it is on the field and you do not have to resummon it.

No, they would become effectless Effect Monsters. That's because Gemini Monsters are Effect Monsters who have a continuous effect that makes them be counted as a Normal Monster while on the field. If Skill Drain is active, this effect is negated, and the Gemini Monster reverts to being an effect monster. However it does not gain its effect monster abilities, these are only switched on by a 'second summon' of the Gemini Monster.

Gemini monsters are a subtype of Effect monsters who are summoned to the field as Normal Monsters with no effect, but can be 'summoned again' while remaining on the field, to turn into Effect monsters with whatever effect is listed on the card.Doing this takes up your normal summon for a turn, so under normal circumstances it takes two turns to do this to a Gemini Monster. But there are many ways around this, Super Double Summon is one. Imagine you normal summon a Gemini Monster, you can then use Super Double Summon on it to immediately activate its effects. However the downside is that the monster is returned to hand at the end of the turn.
