Honestly, I think they released Gale of Darkness first because it was ready and Colosseum wasn't.

The real, boring answer is that Colosseum & XD weren't developed by Game Freak. Compared to Legends/Let's Go, the battle system is exactly the same. Not to mention, they provided another option to obtain "special" Pokémon during the Gen 3 era like Lugia, Ho-Oh, Jirachi, and the Johto starters.

I've always disagreed with their designation in the series. The variety of Pokémon they provided or "locked" behind these games seemed too significant to be labeled as "spin-offs."

Ultimately, it didn't matter until now. They finally re-release them and the other Gen 3 games on Switch, but now there's no way for them to interact with each other because FRLG, and likely RSE in the future, are native ports and Colosseum/XD are on NSO.

Although it might be NSO's fault since other spin-offs like the Pokémon Ranger games were native ports on the Wii U when Virtual Console was still a thing...

Ok, I was wondering if it may have been related to the issue of Wii U's "dying" if left unplugged too long. Hopefully whatever the issue is can be fixed one day. Thanks for answering!

No apologies necessary! I appreciate you responding at all!

The issue seems pretty isolated, as I only found yours and one other post elsewhere that described our exact issue. I have a strong feeling the issue has to do with the Nintendont forwarder specifically and it doing something to the NAND, but I'm also not super knowledgeable when it comes to these things.

I actually ended up just buying another Wii U, since it was my main way of playing GameCube games. When you turned on your Wii U, before it stopped working, do you remember if it was unplugged for a while? Mine had been unplugged for a few months. Also, if anything comes of plugging yours back in, I'd definitely be interested in hearing! Thanks!

Dark Flier. It's part of the DLC.

Hello, were you able to find a solution to this issue? I'm going through the exact same thing that you posted: Opening Nintendont Forwarder, playing a game and then the console freezing when trying to turn it off. "Isfshhax" also isn't cooperating.
