The first launch can take several minutes while shaders compile. The game stores compiled data so later play can run more efficiently; let that process finish before deciding the build failed.

Known low-end behavior includes slow asynchronous route or town loading and hitching during battle transitions such as switching Pokémon, starting a fight, gaining experience or attacking. The creator describes the specifications as a solid-performance target and says some weaker systems may still run the game, but that is not a guaranteed lower minimum.
