I haven't played SV pretty much since New Years. What's everyone's opinions on it now that a lot of the more heated talking points have settled?

I still think they're pretty good, but it's really obvious GF needed at least a year of more dev time, but there is a lot of passion put into the game and the Area Zero plot is pokemon at its best honestly, anyone who calls the game lazy is wrong though, rushed and lazy are not the same thing, and SV has the best human cast in the series in my opinion, and I think tera is a better gimmick than dynamax, and I enjoyed exploring the open world

Agreed on that. It's obvious they put a lot of work and care into the game but there are a lot of corners that were cut due to necessity, rather than unwillingness to put in the effort.

It was a game released too early.

Depends on the experience you had I suppose. It never really happened to me in a notable way with NPC's which may just be luck on my part.
A fair assessment. There's a lot about it which is good and clearly they tried hard but there are obvious issues that had an impact on a lot of players.

I think this specifically refers to NPCs who walk right through battles at certain locations in the story mode, such as a particular one that happens by the Academy's gates near the end of the Team Star story, right on the walkway where a lot of NPCs are walking back and forth. Or another one near the beginning of the Team Star story where Nemona demonstrates the Terastallization mechanic using the Team Star grunts as practice, as that's set on the Academy's stairs where a lot of NPCs are also walking back and forth. I can also think of the Gym Trainer battles in Levincia and battles against the other challengers in Medali as other cases, as they're set in the middle of the street rather than at the nearby Battle Courts (though in the latter case, Medali's Battle Court's location was not yet known).
The characters far away from the battles, as well as the characters yelling and cheering on the sidelines, will most likely remain.

Okay, I bit the bullet and bought Violet.
The graphics and lags/crashes worry me, but I've heard enough promising things about this game that I think it's worth getting.
Besides, I use my Switch for casual/light-hearted gaming, so I think this would be perfect.

Eventually you don't even think about the graphics anymore once you're deep into the game. Also the performance slightly improved with the 1.1 patch. It's still not great but it's better than v1.0.
The good news is there's a patch (1.2) coming soon that is intended fix a few of the issues. So even if its not running that great initially it may be better when that comes through soon.

A Pokémon Presents has been announced. This Pokémon Presents will air on February 27th at 14:00 UTC / 09:00 EST / 06:00 PST / 15:00 CEST / 23:00 JST. It's currently unclear what it will feature but it will last 25 minutes.

25 minutes is pretty lengthy for a Pokemon Presents. Even the 25th anniversary Presents wasn't that long (at least I don't think). The longest one we've had over the past few years was the one in August 2021. It was 29 minutes and mostly covered BDSP and PLA.

I'm thinking that there's gonna be a lot of info about the DLC.

As well as some info about mobile titles and spinoffs.

It’s Kalos season!
I’m thinking that an announcement about the Pokémon GB/GBC/GBA games coming to the Switch this year will be part of the Pokémon Presents along with an announcement for SV DLC.

I'm not thinking that's happening until the 30th anniversary.

Will Nintendo still even be using the Switch by 2026?
