I've been working on the weeding and the fishing badges (waiting for 5k fish to each bite, thrash and ta-dah! is going to kill me more than any other task I swear!) and was just wondering since the games been out so long now how many and which type of badges others have so far?

I don't keep track of badges. When I do get them, it's totally unexpected.
 
I've made decent progress, but since I've had the game for almost 5 years I suppose it could be better as well. I have 7 gold badges (Prof. of Seafood, Balloon Master, Gold Medalist, Gardening Specialist, Master Shopper, Happy Homer Gold. and Village of Honor). I'm very close to getting the Gold Bug and Fish catalog badges needing only 2 bugs and 3 fish (which I believe are all September ones) I have a good amount of silver badges, but honestly there comes a point where I had to accept that I really don't want to fish 5,000 times or pull 5,000 non-existent weeds in my beautiful ordinance town ;-; Lol, but overall, I've completed a good amount of badges :)

At the same time though, I haven't been trying to complete them either, other than the refurbishing one and the K.K. Slider one :3
 
I have at least bronze in every category except for Streetpassing. I've been working on the Dreamer and Weeding badges.

i've got 4-5 gold badges, but i'm trying to get at least bronze in every one before i go for silvers
 
Main town and Guest town Mayors badges are completed. Started playing June 14, 2013.
2 extra players in my main town need host/visiting and streetpass badges. The visiting/host badge I just do them when I have to visit my other towns. Find one visit/host takes a long time to complete and I usually get bored.

Guest town 2, 3 and 4 have some badges to complete. Plan to just do bronze streetpass and than switch to the next player.

The fishing amount badge is one that is very slow. Bug amount caught is fast if you place a lot of flowers on the island during the day. Butterflies keep appearing.

Yeah I am amazed by how much slower fishing is than bugs, I set out to do bugs in a few days and it was ok, but the fishing I can't bring myself to do more than about a 100 a day and itl take me all year probably XD

I was wondering if you have any tips for the streetpass one (I live in rural australia in the middle of no where so I'm trying to figure out a way to trick it with a second DS since it'll be literally impossible to find legit signals now).
 
I stopped taking my 3DS out years ago. The last time I took it out I just streetpassed my other 3DS.
If you have a 2nd 3DS you'll need another copy of ACNL. Get the streetpass working for that copy.

Once that's done I opened both copies of ACNL and than close the 2 3DS every 8 hours. Reason for opening the ACNL game is to make sure that game gets the tag. I've lost tags to other games when I didn't open it. Get the green light on both 3DS and than clear the mii plaza. I usually do it twice a day. One summer I got very lucky and someone living close to my house tagged me twice a day for about 2 months. I think that person had streetpass set up in their house and not sure how it works. That helped my main town mayor get the gold badge.
 
I just checked mine:

Bronze insect mania
Bronze fish maniac
Bronze seafood maniac
Gold gardening specialist
Bronze avid bell saver
Silver expert shopper
Silver refurbishing expert
Silver catalogue maniac
Gold town concierge
Bronze good hostess
Bronze dreamer
Gold village of honor

Not a lot. I don’t really care much for badges. I should probably start working on my encyclopedia though.

I've gotten it to work once, how exactly do I go about getting it to forget that it was that game/player/system that already tagged it? Or will it allow the same one over and over after 8 hours have passed since meeting them in the HHD plaza? Sorry, really just not sure how streetpass works at all haha but I can tell it's going to take a very long time to get to 1000 with only my own games to do it with XD I have two sides one digital and one physical, but so far I don't see the little green light even when one did show up in the game.
 
I have all golds except for the turnip and StreetPass badges which are silver. I've been playing on the same file since less than a month after the US release.
