Wow. I never new a Wii could be bricked, the only happening of that I have encountered of a GAME being bricked is Pokemon X on 3DS but I would suggest getting a new copy of the game that had been bricked as the ways of recovering it are severely complicated.
It's not the game that's bricked.
When you go into hacking a Nintendo Wii, what you're essentially doing is changing all of the file system to work in a way that it wasn't intended to. The methods are completely safe IF you're competent and know exactly what you're doing.
In this case, the Wii had it's software modified, and somewhere along the line something went wrong causing what I'm gonna call a 'semi' brick, because it was still salvageable because it had Priiloader installed and the Homebrew channel was functioning. Priloader is an application that can be loaded prior to anything else on the Wii if you turn the Wii on when holding the reset button. It's installed and tied to the system menu IOS of the Wii console. If you load the homebrewchannel through priloader and it works then you can fix anything essentially (more or less) hahaha
Since the system menu wouldn't load correctly, and priloader said that there was an error with the IOS, this guy attempted to install a new system menu IOS to fix it. Unfortunately he dived in at the deep end when he did that, overwriting priloader before installing any of the other necessary IOS needed I'm guessing... So from there he's stuck because priloader will no longer load up haha
Just curious, what are you talking about pokemon XY brick? If it's what I'm thinking of (The odd save glitch) then it's not a brick, it's just a game breaking glitch which could be overcome by various methods anyways.
NB: If that's hard to understand, i had about 2 minutes to explain it, I need more time to explain that crap to people that aren't in the know! Plus I'm crap at explaining anyways... I'm gonna shut up now.
