(You're both fine to believe what you want, but idk if you two knew that they're obtained via unorthodox methods)
Although Nintendo did not make shiny checks in gen 3, the only possible way one has obtained the shiny Wishmkr Jirachi is if someone backs up a Gamecube sav and change the seed to one of the shiny seeds.
If you believe that externally editing the save file in order to force the game to generate a shiny is legal, fine. These Shiny Jirachi are semi-legit at best as the shiny Jirachi were not naturally obtained. Unlike RNG abuse, these required the use of external devices. I beleive he did this experiment several weeks after the post in red; I don't know his final conclusion (why didn't he edit?). Shiny Jirachi are there; Kaphotics's bundle were probably obtained through the edited seed.
On another note, the 9 possible possible IV/PID combinations for a shiny Jirachi are known; therefore, anyone with the knowledge can create one in Pokesav and satisfy legal.exe.
