Match Call Message Trigger?

Back for the lulz
On my first several playthroughs of Emerald, after I beat the Elite Four and Champion, if I tried to call Steven, first I would get a message of congratulations from him, then a while after that I would not be able to reach him at all. I figured that was how the game was normally supposed to work, i.e. you can't reach Steven so (assuming you didn't already know) you can call up Wallace for a hint as to where he is. I thought the trigger for this was to get Beldum from his house and/or read his letter to you.

However, I recently got another copy of Emerald and played through it, and this did not happen. I've beaten the Elites AND gotten the Beldum and read the letter, and I still get the congratulatory message when I call Steven. Is this a glitch, or is the glitch my prior experience of Steven being unreachable?

I am so confused. ._.
 
After you beat the Elite 4, you can go to Meteor Falls and try to find a new room there. If you do, you'll soon notice Steven, however you can battle him only once.
 
Right, I'm just wondering how to get it so that you can't call Steven anymore like I did in my first Emerald game, or is that just a glitch?
 
He is also unreachable before you defeat the elite four also. So, perhaps it isn't a "do this, and he becomes unreachable," but a "defeat the elite four and you are allowed to reach him once."

Of coursse, this is just a guess. To really know for sure, you would have to try calling him after each thing you do after the last time you meet him.
