We also know the langauage checks were lazy. It was mostly locked based on whether it was Japanese or not. So you could theoretically have any language (but Japanese) game and get the European distro.

Theoretically if you traveled to Europe or imported an American Emerald cartridge to Europe you were able to download one on Emerald.
There were also reports that you were able to download Aurora Tickets from the GBA SPs inside the Pikachu Bus at Pokemon Days.
Those had an Emerald cartridge with a distributable Aurora Ticket. You can see it here:

So yeah, you can do it and it's legit but it should be mentioned though that there never was an official American Aurora Ticket for Emerald. The reason why it works is because the English cartridges are all the same and therefore treated the same by the all the distribution systems. So this means that it was not necessarily intended to work this way but a side effect due to the localization. There's a possibility that the American Mystic Ticket was receivable on European cartridges but it's unproven at this point... it could be that it worked for English games only. 

Thanks sir.
