OK, here's my views:
1. X/Y and R/S Remakes are in Generation 6. I'm getting either X or Y and the Sapphire Remake, so I'm saving money.
2. My first game was Crystal. My favorite Game (and the most fun) was HeartGold, and SoulSilver is almost identical, but it has Meowth (so basically my friend has SoulSilver, and I can get Persians :D )
3. Personally, I would definitely get SS or HG, it's great.
In Diamond, I KO'd Mesprit and lost the opportunity to catch it. I googled around and saw that Legendaries respawn after you defeat the E4 and the champion, but Mesprit still doesn't respawn after I beat them many times. Any help? or is it just a misconception and I lost Mesprit forever?
You have at least six Pokemon in a Box in your game that you want to migrate to your SoulSilver?
None of your cartridges show up with the option to migrate?
None of your cartridges are from a different region than your SoulSilver game, correct?
Are your cartridges being recognized by your DS? (you can play your games on your DS)
I think you should add both of them and remove Buneary in your team. Buneary is cute but it's battling in platinum which will help you complete the gamei'm playing pokemon platinum and i am in hearthome city and my team is:
gortle lvl 24 (rash nature\ moves: bite - curse - absorbe - razor leaf) ability: overgrow
buneary lvl 25 (serious nature\ moves: quick attack - cut - frustration - jump kick) ability:klutz
