Pokemon HeartGold Nuzlocke Run (40 minutes from New Bark to Violet)

See http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68998 . It has the rules regarding this challenge run (moot's rules since I like using healing items) and a link to the original Nuzlocke comics.

I begin my adventure by plowing through the tutorial stuff with Bob, the Chikorita (a reference to my Silver Let's Play on the Youtube channel Xdude490). Bob gets to level 7 before wiping out the Rival (who I will name Rival because I gave him a random gibberish name in-game). Once I get Pokeballs from Lyra after her EXCITING tutorial, I run to Route 46 to find...a level 2 Spearow! I name it Steve and save and turn off the game.

When on the toilet one night, I pick up the game to start training Steve. A weak Spinarak poisons it, making me panic. Then I remember poison fades away (good thing too, since the world has thousands of steps while every 4 hurts Steve). With confidence, I send it out against a Rattata (another battle in Route 30) that keeps using tail whip. I beg for it not to attack, but it takes Steve down with a tackle. With my confidence crushed, I run through the route as Bob gets to level 9.

In Route 31, I find something awesome...actually no, a Rattata. I name it STUPIDrat (another reference to my Silver LP) and go to Dark Cave looking for something useful. My luck turned out well for me there, so I found a Geodude that I named Stoner. After avoiding a bug trainer, I get a useless thing from Lyra and take one step into Violet City.
