Only use starter. Don't buy pokeballs; toss them if acquired. Don't evolve starter - cancel its evolution if needed.
For anyone wondering, this is a classic secret that also appears in some other Pokemon games. You must defeat Gary on route 22, then speak to Prof Oak without any Poke Balls on hand, and you must do all of this without catching another Pokemon. If successful, Oak will give you some free Poke Balls.
It's completely doable with all three starters. Most prefer to simply level up their starter a bunch, though I think it can be done pretty comfortably at level 10 or so, especially if you want the level 14 Brock achievement. Getting a high physical attack IV can help a lot.
Bulbasaur has a small disadvantage, as it must make do with Tackle and Leech Seed... but this is a small price to pay for being the best overall starter. I'd argue that Leech Seed is better here than Bubble at least.
Evolving your starter will register a second item in your Pokedex, so Oak won't give you the Poke Balls. Beating Brock will cause Gary to leave route 22. Avoid both situations.
