Can I run a Japanese copy of Colosseum on my North American Wii, and use it to trade with a Japanese Gen III cartridge?

Question

I have learned that if I import a Japanese Ruby, it will play on my N. Am. DS. So, the next question is: will a Japanese Colosseum run on my N. Am. Wii? I am wondering because this is the only way for me to get a legit Celebi.

Answer 1

Only American Wii games can work on an American Wii, since it is region locked.
There is, however, a way for your Wii to get 'modded' apparently, so you can check the source to see a few links.

Hope I helped. :)
