A Very Hungry Pikachu

A Very Hungry Pikachu was a Roblox game created by Team Friction and released on 19th December 2013, where the players had to survive and ultimately defeat a giant humanoid Pikachu named Pika as it destroyed a small city and tried to eat the players. Coins spawned around the map, which could be collected by players to purchase more powerful weapons.
The game was taken down by Nintendo in July 2020, and a non-copyrighted version called Very Hungry Aliens was released on 29th September 2020. On 28th July 2023, the Team Friction account was compromised and a slightly modified version of the game was briefly reuploaded, before being privated on 16th August 2023.

==Gameplay==
The game took place entirely in a small city, with several landmarks such as an office, a mall, and a construction site. The objective of the game was to defeat Pika, a giant humanoid Pikachu who wandered the map chasing nearby players. Pika destroyed any blocks it came into contact with, and grabbed and devoured any players it caught.
Players initially started empty-handed, but could buy gear by spending money gained by collecting coins scattered throughout the city. These included Coils, that allowed the player to move faster and jump higher, as well as weapons to fight Pika with.
After Pika's health was dropped to 20% of its starting value, Pika's outer skin broke off to reveal its true form; a robot named Mechanichu. In this state it moved faster, and regularly fired lasers from its eyes at players. When its health is drained completely, Pika exploded, respawning at the centre of the map after a few seconds with increased health.
