However, you cannot legitimately obtain Shaymin or Darkrai on D/P without going to an event or transferring Darkrai from Pokemon Ranger, so I think it's generally agreed upon that in D/P, those pokes are considered hacks.

Some further explanation:
Many of the legendary Pokes of Sinnoh had their levels changed for various reasons. For example, Darkrai and Shaymin in Plat are level 50. In D/P, they're level 40.
And just walking through walls/tweaking won't work in Plat. Their respective islands will be empty until the event is activated with the Key Item (Oak's Letter, Member Pass).
Now, of course, if you hack the Key Item and activate the event, no one will be able to tell that you hacked it (assuming that the rest of the world will get the items like Japan is). It'll still be hacked since you used an external device to aid you in capturing it, but no one but you would be able to tell.
As for hacking the key items into D/P, they'll be 100% hacked. That doesn't make them bad. I'm doing it on my D/P games since the key items will never be released for them, but I have no intention of battling or trading them.
