Pikachu Thunderbolt Attack

Introduction: "Pikachu Thunderbolt Attack" is not an official Nintendo or Game Freak title, nor is it a traditional ROM hack. It is a Flash-based game created for web browsers, often found on classic gaming sites. The game is a simple, linear adventure where you control Pikachu directly, bypassing the standard Pokémon catching and training mechanics. The visual style is basic 2D sprite-based animation, typical of early 2000s Flash games.

Gameplay & Mechanics: This game abandons the core Pokémon RPG formula. There is no starter choice, no party management, and no turn-based battles. The gameplay is an action-platformer where Pikachu runs and jumps through levels, using its Thunderbolt attack to defeat wild Pokémon and obstacles in real-time. The difficulty is generally low and designed for short play sessions. It does not incorporate any modern mechanical changes like the Physical/Special split or new types, as it exists entirely outside the main series' engine framework.

Key Features:

• Direct control of Pikachu in a side-scrolling action format.
• Simplified mechanics focused on platforming and using a single attack.
• A short, self-contained experience distinct from the main Pokémon RPGs.

As a Flash title, its availability is now dependent on preservation projects and emulators for the Flash format.
