Lag is the common term for the result of when software attempts to load various processes, but the processing speed of that program is too low. As a result, several instances may take time to fully load, or the system will attempt to terminate other (preferably unimportant instances).

There are a few glitches which take advantage of the game's processing speed in the Pokémon games; perhaps the most well known is Tweaking, which takes advantage of the game's relatively low processing speed to load new map data when the player travels quickly across loading lines.
