Help with getting Hoenn starters in SS?

Question

I went to the Silph company place in Saffron City(after defeating Red), but the guy your supposed to talk wasn't there. Do you need to defeat Red, then immediately go there?

Answer 1

No. Follow these steps:

• Beat The Elite Four, and get all 16 badges.
• Go to Saffron City and into Copycat's house. Talk to her. She lost her doll.
• Go to Vermilion City's fan club and get the doll. Before you enter, Steven will bump into you, and Latios will start to roam.
• Get the doll and return it to Copycat. She'll give you a Magnet Pass.
• Beat Red.
  Go to Silph Co. He should be ready to give your starter.

In the thing I saw, the guy said to just go to the Silph company after you beat Red
