Anyone who's suggesting that a No Materia challenge would be extremely difficult has evidently never tried one. You spend most of the later battles tossing Hi-Potions and using a Limit Break as soon as it becomes available. Easy. I even took down Schizo in a single attempt and I normally find that to be the hardest boss in the game.
No, wait, here's an interesting challenge you could try, one that's not on your list: Go through the game as normal, but spend absolutely no money at all except when the game absolutely forces you to do so (the only time I can think of that does is the two occasions on which you're forced to visit the Gold Saucer, at which point you spend your minimum on day passes, no Gold Tickets). This means no Chocobo Lure (therefore no Chocobo Breeding, plus you gotta cross the swamp without a Chocobo, but the Zolom's ridiculously easy if you just lob a Deadly Waste at it), no buying items, no Inns (free bedrests only!), no getting a flower from Aeris to influence love points, no buying a Golden Ticket at the Gold Saucer, no buying weapons and so forth. This in turn prevents you from getting Master Magic, Master Summon and Master Command via conventional means as you can't buy the necessary Materia, nor can you ride a Chocobo to the Materia caves because that means spending money on stables and greens; all you can do is fight Emerald Weapon for one of each, which should be interesting without Mime (KOR isn't necessary but the majority of cool combos to take him down require Mime). At the end of it, take a screenshot of how much money your party has.
