Why won't Norman take me to Southern Island when I have the necessary items?

Question

I have Eon ticket and mega latios but Norman isn’t taking me to southern island. Its hacked and the first thing in my inventory but it’s in the key items section it should work.

How far into the game are you, and is it Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire?

I got 6 gym badges. Im at the part where Maxie just walked away with the red orb. I saved on mt.pyre. As for what game, it’s OrAs so it shouldn’t matter. But for the sake of it, I’m playing Omega Ruby.

You might have to complete the game before you can do it. Also I thought it does matter? Latias in OR and Latios in AS?

---

I remember that being the case in emerald. I don’t think so for OrAs

Huh. This https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/2qqura/eon_ticket_requirements/ says you have to have at least beat Norman and obtained latios and the key stone. According to this thread, if you use hacks to obtain event items, there are certain game states you might have to change. I don't know a lot about hacking so maybe this isn't any help. https://gbatemp.net/threads/pkhex-eon-ticket-event-question.418691/

I’ve beaten Norman and haven’t activated the event yet so I don’t think I need need to use event flags.

Try talking to Norman and see what he says.

Something about going to see mom?

Actually I think this may have something to do with event flags

If that helped you figure out what was wrong, I'll post it as an answer.

Answer 2

You should go to the ferry guy with the Eon Ticket. He will drive you to southern island
