Newest Pokemon Go update resets hundreds of accounts

So there are patches and updates, and then there’s what happened with Pokemon Go over the past few days.

But more importantly, hundreds of accounts have been reset to Day 1 status, as if they just first started. I myself experienced this and while I found it as a bit of an annoyance that it happened, other people aren’t handling it as well as they should:

Hopefully the folks over at Niantic can sort this out before it gets any worse.
