Not even the hardest trainer card requirement. Completing the National Pokedex is not only easy in comparison, failure to so so is bannable on this board.

No, the hardest one is this, because of that last one. Pokemon Jump requires two GBAs and two GBA wireless adapters. Link cables won't work. Dodrio Berry Picking requires THREE systems connected at once wirelessly. And that's 200 berries for ONE person, in ONE round. Not in total. You can reasonably play Pokemon Jump solo with two systems, you absolutely cannot play Dodrio Berry Picking solo.

Those two minigames are so obscure that there's virtually no documentation on them at all. Emerald doesn't have the trainer card requirements, but can also play the minigames too. For some reason my copy of Emerald stopped communicating with my copies of FRLG. FireRed and LeafGreen will communicate with each other, but my Emerald bugged out and won't do it anymore. It's fucking infuriating because I don't even know how to diagnose the problem due to the lack of documentation.

Didn't FRLG also have the Roar glitch where, if roaming Entei used Roar, it would be gone forever?
And that final requirement. Why? Nobody cared about those minigames.

Yeah, roamers that flee via Roar despawn from the game entirely. Also, in RS and FRLG roamers have a glitch that keeps most of their IVs at 0, so even if you snag the roamer it's at best just a trophy for the dex. If you wanted a good legendary dog for the Battle Frontier/gen 3 competitive you needed to get it from Colosseum. That's why there's this massive community effort around RNG manipulating specifically Colosseum.

And the minigames existed to shill the wireless adapter, which came packaged in every new copy of FRLG, like how the Pokewalker came with every copy of HGSS. The adapter wasn't a big hit and very few games actually used it, and it's generally not reverse-compatible as a replacement link cable. Trading via wireless adapter in FRLG works like the gen 4+ trading: You both enter a lobby as a random trainer, talk to each other, and request a trade. Trading via link cable works like gen 1-2: You both enter the trading room and sit down at the trading terminal.

So it was all a beta test for how the DS would later implement these features to a greater extent.

Yeah, I used the wireless adapter once or twice to battle and trade against/with myself. I don't think I ever played those minigames, though, as they didn't seem very interesting.

Oh they're not. Pokemon Jump is deviously evil and will randomize the rope speed the closer you get to 200, just to fuck with you.

To get 200 berries in Dodrio Berry Picking you needed two friends who were willing to throw the game and let you succeed while they did the minimal amount of effort possible. You get 10 lives shared, and every dropped berry is another life lost.

If you want to progress Winston/Serena's dialog, then yes. Also the more mons you get a record with, the more Winston/Serena falls in love with your character.

Would it be faster to try and power through the remaining gyms (and Mt. Coronet), or just catch two Glameows from Route 218 and suffer the leveling?

It's only like 8 levels to Purugly. Are you trading these to another game? I'd just catch 2 Glameow and grind 8 levels with the boosted trade exp, it's not that bad. Even faster if you got a lucky egg from route 210 in Platinum or from a swarm in HGSS.

That might be easiest. I'm planning on transferring my living dex up from Emerald, so I've got 386 held slots to "order" items from that game, and I've already got 292 rare candies, balls, and berries on order. I was hoping to spare more in case I wanted more berries, TMs, held items, balls, etc.
