Issue with Southern Island

[Aster Selene]

I'm playing Emerald and I'd like to get Latias (Latios is my roamer), but for some reason the Southern Island event isn't activating - I can hack in the item, but I can't get the woman at Lilycove to take me there, and if I warp there I only get the standard phrase when examining the item (i.e. no Latias).

I have inputted the master code, the no-DTM or whatever it's called, the event activator, and the item.

Just a note - I am using VBA, and I haven't caught Latios yet; would they have something to do with it?

It's not a really pressing issue since I'll probably try hacking in an Enigma Stone for SoulSilver, assuming that works, but I'd prefer getting it in Emerald.

You just need the Eon Ticket. I'm not sure if using VBA with this is the right way to go, but read this. I remember having a similar problem with getting Darkrai on Pokémon Platinum. All I did was use the walk through anything code and ran my way there.

you need the ticket and an activator code, i'm pretty sure.

Walk through everything and hacking in the ticket failed.

you need a code to activate the event flag too. try looking on cheats.gbatemp.net.

As I said in the initial post, I activated the event too.

I meant that's what I did for Platinum which is completely irrelevant to this thread. Heh, sorry.
