First pick your starter pokemon(cyndaquil) and go to the next town. Go to the Pokemon center and save in front of the computer. Turn off your game and turn it back on. Start a new game but don't save.
Then once you get your other pokemon(totodile) go on until you face you rival. Then go get your pokeballs and catch a pokemon.after that go back to the Pokemon center and put in your starter pokemon. Then switch boxes.

Take it out and save. Then do this all over again with the other starting Pokemon, and there you go 3 starting Pokemon without a link!
