wow, a lot of effort for this, i had a simple way of it... about 4 years ago or something i simply played through the japanese game until i beat it 
using psoload and some other program, i hacked in a bunch of time flutes , and then used them on all the dark pokemon. then i simply loaded the burnt bonus disk in my wii, backing up my save so that i could get as many celebis as i wanted. but since then, celebi has been released in other events, so it is not so super rare anymore, relatively.
here is a page with some ar codes, you can get the celebi now SUPER easy, haha

I'm also pretty sure you can use a Gamecube with a modchip in it, but I used Dolphin.

I detailed the results of that ar code. Very very interesting indeed, check out its long hidden USA Celebi.

First of all thanks for this, after 10 years pokemon fever came again and this is the only "legal" way of obtaining celebi, so many thanks.
I've tested some things:
- The bonus disc sadly won't work with dios mios, freezes when loading the celebi part of the disc. I think it is because it loads another app, which isn't something gamecube games do. It tries to read the real disc in the drive and I had a DRE error.
- It does work burned on a disc on my pal wii (modchip, normal mios, it didn't work with dios mios mios installed) launching from Gecko OS. It didn't boot from main menu (I may not have the region free hack enabled, can't remember).
I wanted to test the pokemon trasnfer to GBA. The bonus disk recognizes my PAL colosseum savegame, but even after changing the IDs for the GBA carts it didn't work. Then I realized that every PAL cart has a different code for each language:
You can check the id at the cart itself:
GERMANY: AXPDAXVD
ENGLAND: AXPEAXVE
FRANCE: AXPFAXVF
ITALY: AXPIAXVI
SPAIN: AXPSAXVS
As you can see none of the codes are AXPPAXVP as daltonlaffs supposed. I burned another disc with the correct ID's for my region... but it sadly didn't work. There wasn't any reaction at the GBA side
I'll send my colosseum PAL save to gamefaqs (with all 48 pokemon and Ho-Ho), since the only pal save they have seems to be a converted usa savegame that loads, but can't save (so you can't transfer to GBA, and it is useless). There's a pal save with japanesse celebi some posts before this one for those who only want celebi and don't want to make the process themselves. By the way, the legendary dogs are untrained (as Ho-Ho), for the purists.
Also, for those using the dolphin AR codes to get non-japanesse celebi, if you use the PAL game, the orginal trainer changes depending on the selected language. Spanish language OT is "ÁGATA", and the 'Á' character is recognized in generation 3 games, but not in generation 4 games (haven't tested gen 5 or gen 6). I recommend changing the language to english for getting celebi, OT will be "AGATE", which will show up fine in the other games. I don't know about the other four languages, and won't test.
-------------
As a side note, the USA bonus disc does work with Dios Mios, I couldn't fully test because I don't have a USA cart and I couldn't find the info regarding the GBA game ID's in the ISO for testing, but a error screen appeared at the GBA, so the connection is working. It'd be great If we could edit that disc so it works with PAL games, there's a PAL pokemon channel save at gamefaqs that can download Jirachi, but using the colosseum usa disc would be great, and also a better way to test how to fool it into recognizing other region carts, so I don't waste more dvds in the colosseum bonus disc, since now I have two almost useless edited colosseum bonus discs.

My results from doing this (running from a dvd-r Neogamma r9 beta) were pretty solid until I got to the part where I could send one of the 48 to each of my GBA games. Basically, when I link it up to any of them (Sapp and Fred I happened to test), it gives me the error notification on that gba linkup screen. I don't know what it says for the error because of the Japanese, but I did do the hex editing for the ntsc-u gbalink part, so idk why it's not working. Worked on my ntsc-u colosseum file, though, and one legit celebi is enough for me! Thanks!
It could have to do with this (though I think there's only one ID for ntsc-u considering the state of the country...).

PAL English GBA carts weren't released, any game checking for that (if indeed the case) must fail by default.
Nintendo used the unaltered American localization.

Does anybody has a USA Colosseum Save file with the Ageto Celebi and Pikachu? I'd really appreciate it. I'm having a hard time finding a JPN Colosseum Bonus Disc as is.
Providing a save might be even easier than hexing the Japanese ISO on Dolphin.

Nintendont and Dolphin aren't that hard to use, so you don't have to track down the physical bonus disc.
Also, I don't have a Colo save with Celebi right now (I probably have a backup of the file with the Celebi RNG'd to have almost perfect IVs and Hidden Power Fire 70), but I can get it to you if need be.
I was having a hard time tracking the JPN ISO. Found one and the DL failed halfway D:
Anyways, I'd greatly appreciate if you could get me a save file with the Celebi and Pikachu!
I'm pretty sure the save didn't have Pikachu, but I'll look anyway.
The save was on Project Pokemon IIRC, but I'll look in my SD Card.
Please do and thanks again!

Can't even get this to work. All it takes is a clean Pokemon Colosseum (USA) + Finished save file + the following AR code activated on Dolphin:
5M54-WC2B-QHBG6
WNR8-RY3Q-29P6T
GMNK-UQNE-QR78H
WHZ0-EWPJ-12BTD
NRTU-8KHF-1PZZ8
DEED-TK1H-U6N5P
BHDF-N90M-BKMPV
?
If so, I don't understand why it's not working for me. ;[
After some digging, I found these save files, but they're for the PAL and Japanese versions:
PAL Colo save w/ Celebi
JAP Colo save w/ Celebi
I looked on my SD Card, but I've wiped it since putting the Celebi GCI on. I probably have an old backup on another computer, so if you can't use those saves, just say so and I'll dig it up.
Please see if you can find the GC save on US. If not, I'll have to figure something out with these 2 saves then!
Thanks again for doing this!
All right, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow; it's late night here right now.
There are 2 US saves, one for each good Hidden Power. They both have Mattle Ho-Oh too.
And I might as well post my XD save with flawless competitive Lugia if I can find it too.
Oh please do. I was about to start the unpleasant XD to get that Lugia. :/
EDIT: Mattle Ho-Oh is the Ho-Oh you get for doing the 100 battles in Colo? I did that between years, lol. I got too annoyed doing those 100 battles. DX
My Lugia save might still exist somewhere (perhaps on one of my memcards or the 5+ backups of them?), but it's not with my Celebi... collection.
No less than 113 legitimate Celebis; 111 are in 3GPKM format, and the other 2 are USA Colosseum saves that contain flawless HP Fire 70 Celebi, one Modest and one Bold.

Awesome! Thanks!
Coincidentally just now I was trying to get the Pikachu through JPN's Colosseum ISO (As explained in the OP). Changed the 3 offsets, and opened 2 spots on the Colosseum's party. but I get this when I click on the Shrine:
Any idea what could it be guys?
