That's the risk you take when using a cheat code device- the risk of the extreme possibility of the device screwing your game up. That's why if I was going to use one to get foreign Pokemon (from Kanto and Johto), I would use it on the Sapphire I have access to, then trade it to my Ruby. I would definitely not want to screw up a game I put 403 hours of my life into, and a PokeDex with 266 Pokemon filled in.

Sounds more like what's wrong with your code!! I doubt it's your game, it's your GameShark!! Sounds like a bad code or maybe it was for a different version. Go look for another Master Code or different encounter codes or something!

The code must be a bogus code or your game is just corrupted in some way.

The GameShark codes are bogus, Master Code isin't on, or something is bugged in either your game or GS.

Gameshark's are risky to use. First, check if the code works before saving your game( Believe me, I learned the hard way).

The most logical reason is your Gameshark, whenever you do put in a code, you always run the risk of your gaming malfunctioning.

There is also the possibility, that the code you entered was infact a bogus code, and that it has the effect that it does what happened to your game.
