This is something I could've tried myself for years but never thought to test. Does anyone know offhand whether you can find the rare Tortimer's Island items (treasure chest, different colored wetsuits, etc.) via local co-op with two of your own 3DS consoles or does it have to be with other, long distance, players?

I do not think so, at the very least it must be very rare. I believe that all of the alternate wetsuits (other than the black and dark green ones) are exclusive to the Club Tortimer Island. I have encountered the silver axe on my own Tortimer Island but all of the other items are extremely rare. I got most of them by cycling through Club Tortimer before the hackers a long time ago. Your Tortimer Island wares are only generated once per day while using C.T you can island hop and get everything fairly quick! Sadly, its unsafe now.....

Figured as much, though disappointing nonetheless. Alas. Thank you for the answer!

Is it still possible to invite people to my town and trade items and stuff? I haven't kept up to date with 3DS so I have no idea what is possible anymore

No, Nintendo shut down 3DS and Wii U online servers on April 8th 2024 and unfortunately you can no longer invite other people to your town or trade with them but if you own multiple 3DSes and New Leaf game cartridges in your household you can invite your other mayors to your town via local multiplayer since that is separate from online servers.

it’s possible to do local play (you and someone else with a 3ds next to each other), but not online anymore as it shut down last year.
btw, if you do local play remember that if one of you leaves, it should be done by pressing start and then end session (like you’re going to save). my sister and i always end up with an error message/losing progress if one of us tries to leave from the train station. i’m not sure if that’s just our 3dses being buggy though. i hope that makes sense/is helpful.

I have never heard of this error!

I constantly use local play on my 3DS systems to get the remaining visitor / travel badges or to trade items and this is new to me.

Could you try looking up the error code sometime? I'm really interested haha
