so, when i was a kid, i was playing Emerald on an emulator on my phone, as far as i know, i didn't put in a cheat code for a lugia encounter, but while sailing the ocean, i had a random encounter, normal stuff right? turns out Lugia decided to drop in and see how i was doing. I did the usual strat of quick-save quick-load-ing until the pokemon is caught on the first try (i really wanted to be mr. perfect in emerald as a kid), then tragedy struck, i accidentally quick-saved while Brandon was throwing the ball and no matter how many times i tried to quick-load, the damage was done. lugia broke out of the ultra ball and ran. i'm about to get a gameboy SP and a copy of emerald, and i was wondering if i could maybe encounter lugia again by following some steps, but apparently it's impossible to catch lugia unless you use an action replay/cheat shark to give yourself a ticket to navel rock, so i'm posting here to see if anyone else has had an encounter like this.
Edit: i do remember getting a bad egg, but the only cheat i ever remember being installing on the emulator was a walk through walls cheat, and that was for fire red, i also think it's important to mention that besides my phone, i also remember playing it on a computer, also on an emulator (obviously), but i can't seem to remember which one i got the bad egg in.
