I didn't play it, but I bought Violet for my girlfriend for Christmas, and she really enjoyed it. She just had a good time exploring the world and finding Pokemon, which the game is actually really good for. She certainly had issues (mostly, how trying to shorehorn in the story progression of previous games interfered with the fact that she just wanted to run around and catch Pokemon), but for the most part the technical and performance issues are just stupid, rather than anything that seriously hurts gameplay. They're still inexcusably bad, of course, especially when you've got Xenoblade 3 and TotK releasing on the same system and delivering large environments that both looked and performed orders of magnitude better (so it's not like the Switch couldn't handle Pokemon, though to be fair, Monolith are wizards of optimization), but that doesn't mean the core game isn't fun.
