I fixed the problem, I just installed the Action Replay software and managed codes there. There were hundreds of pre-saved codes on the cartridge and I deleted all of them except for Heart Gold. There's a backup of all the codes on the software itself.
Have any of you heard of the Nuzlocke Challenge? It's supposed to be a harder way of playing the games. There are two mandatory rules that make up the challenge:
1. Catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each area and nothing else there. and
2. If a Pokemon faints, release it immediately.
There are other rules that many others follow, such as
-If a town you go to contains a body of water or a gift, pokemon like Bill's Eevee in G/S/C/HG/SS, that may be considered a Pokemon of a new area.
-You must nickname your pokemon so there is some sort of attachment. Each pokemon is a best friend to you, to see them die is heartbreaking.
-If your entire party faints, they all must be thrown away. If you have a pokemon left in a box somewhere, you may continue, otherwise you must start your game over.
-Treat pokeballs as rare artifacts; at no point can you buy them from stores. You can only use ones you find in the wild or are awarded.
-You are, under no circumstance, allowed to use items outside of battle. If you were poisoned on your last turn of the battle, you better hope to god there is a pokemon center nearby.
-You may not switch out before the enemy trainer sends in a new Pokemon.
It can be a fun, yet suspenseful journey. Some people even make comics of what happens in their game. There are plenty here:

I recommend everyone to read the main comic and Freddy's, because they're very entertaining.
I've been doing one on Ruby, where I have a Marshtomp, a Tailow, a Nincada, and a Slakoth that remain alive. I only got the first badge so far.
