Thanks, Fatty!
The passage of time is necessary for some shops but some have other requirements.
On my badges, this is where I'm at.
Gold Bug Catching Badge - Need to catch 1050 more insects.
Gardening Badge - Need to plant about 38 more items. Have more than enough fruit and trees to do this so it's pretty much done. I just need to actually plant them.
Gold Fishing Badge - Need to catch almost 3000 more fish. I've been focusing on bug catching because that actually takes longer than fish catching I've noticed. I just caught enough to get the silver badge and acquire all silver badges.
Gold Streetpassing Badge - The holy grail! I know I've got 350 AC Streetpass tags for sure. You need 1000 to get the gold. Unfortunately, I sabotaged my progress on this one a bit. When I got my New 3DS, I set up my old and New 3DS to streetpass with one another. With the old 3DS, I selected a second AC account I created in game and set it as the user to streetpass. I was hoping that this might allow me to cheat the system a bit in order to acquire new streetpass tags however slowly. Stupidly, I didn't realize that this just meant I set the game so that this second account was collecting all the streetpass tags. The game doesn't allow you to set-up multiple accounts to acquire streetpasses. Only one account can count and collect them. So, it didn't matter which system I put the game into, all AC streetpasses were being attributed to the second account. This was further exasperated by the fact that when I would look and count any tags I acquired, I could see tags for my main account, Treize, and tags for the second account of Relena so I thought it was working smoothly.
As I was counting tags, I reached a point where my total indicated I should have received the silver streetpass badge but Phineas was showing up. When he didn't, I assumed the game wasn't counting my own account streetpass tags. But then I reached a point with legit tags that should have given me the silver badge and still no Phineas. I was wondering what was off about my counting when I logged in with my second account to clear out the mailbox for it when I ran into Phineas in that account who gave my Relena character a bronze streetpass badge. It was then that I realized me error and when I went back to the Happy Home Showcase and talked to Digby about setting my main account of Treize as the main streetpass recipient that I noticed the wording of how streetpass were assigned.
Now, my 2 systems always send streetpasses for the Treize account between them. Unfortunately, I don't know if they are actually counted towards my total for the streetpass badge or not. I was counting legit badges and my self-sent badges to once I acquired my bronze badge to see if they totals matched when I got my silver. By messing up my silver badge count, I don't know if they do count or not. If they do, then I'm at about 415 tags. I'm still upset at the tags I squandered on my second account. I'd probably be about 50% of the way there if I hadn't messed that up. Not sure I can succeed with this badge or not but as long as the 3DS isn't replaced yet and there are still 3DS zones, I'll keep on collecting as many tags as I can.
