Last Saturday morning: Oh, what the hell, Niantic!? It's not even April Fools' Day yet!
A few minutes later: Okay, fine. This is kind of cute.
A few minutes after that: Oh, look. Even the news section features 8-bit graphics. Hey, at least they are committed to this.
After reading the news update: Heh. "The chunky squares of each pixel provide realistic detail and unbelievable definition."
Upon discovering the 8-bit graphics were gone yesterday morning: What the hell, Niantic!? Bring back the 8-bit graphics!
