Pokemon Go! users are suffering. 

Users of the popular new craze are devastated after an update of the app's features resulted in the entire game being reset.

Some Pokemon trainers are reporting that they have lost three weeks of progress with the iOS and Android update of the game on Saturday.

The frustrated trainers are taking to social media to express their anger, with some even calling for a refund of money spent along the way.

"After the update my account reset to the beginning. I lost my Pokemon and all the money I put into this game," one user wrote.

"I'm trying to stay calm, but why did my Pokemon Go reset and I lost all my levels and Pokemon?! Anyone else have this problem?," another said.

One gamer was apparently moved to tears.

"My Pokemon go app was reset and I lost everything, I was level 14 and I had just caught charmander today. *actually crying*"

The new update has improved a number of glitches, but players didn't count on this massive glitch being introduced in the process.
