I'm sure he did get the Earth Badge. He definitely defeated Giovanni in a Gym battle.
Well, anyway, the point is, he didn't get most of the Badges in the normal way.
And why do they need to get the badges? The storylines are pretty awesome - much better than just running around getting Badges for the sake of getting Badges.
I've only read the start of Diamond, when I started reading it I got up to the last issue that was translated and then just forgot about checking for updates.
