3rd Gen *sights* It can never be simple....

Set Up:
2 GameBoy advances. One original. One SP.
1 FireRed: Pretty much 100% complete.
1 Emerald: Getting there. Just beat Final Four. They have been beaten. I won, blah, blah, blah.

Problems:

Problem 1:

After beating FF, I go to island one to fight the 2 Team Rocket members to get the rainbow ticket. And surprise! I cant. I cant get them to fight or do anything different then before. I thought I was able to fight them and gain entrance to the cave after I beat the FF right?

Problem 2:

I connect my 2 GBA together to trade now that I've beaten the FF in FireRed. I can get a connection, I tested it by battling with the 2. But yet when I try to trade the clerk says "I'm sorry, were not set-up to trade far away with other regions yet" like I haven't ****ing beaten the FF yet. Agian I was under the influence that after you beat the FF you can trade.

So, anyone got a clue whats going on here?

Sorry but beating the weak 5 just wont cut it this time. you have to do a side quest on the sevii islands where you get the ruby/sapphire plate for celio. ruby is 1 island sapphire is on 6, then taken to 5.after getting these gems you hand them to celio on island 1 who fixes the machine for the trading to r/s/e but also in-order to travel to the other islands (4-7) you need the national dex which is gotten from professor oak after catching/evolving 60 diffrent types of pokemon due to the fact that there are jhoto pokemon on those islands.

Hopefully this helps somewhat

Oh. Ok so once I evolve/breed/whatever 60+ pokemon I can then fight the 2 team rocket grunts and then finish the side quest on the seveli islands and then I can trade?
