Hi Gennelle and (insert who ever is co hosting if you happen to read this) My favorite events from this year was #OneWebkinzWorld, the nafaria easter egg hunt and the Webkinz Votes 2014 campaign! The cool thing about these events, was they somehow in a way, brought all the people in together! Not to mention there were some cool prizes too! For 2015 I can’t wait for the 10th webkinz Day! I’ve heard you have some big events planned! I also can’t wait for the mayor of kinzville to be inaugurated! (If your doing that) Anyway, podkinz rocks! Keep making them please!
awesome!!!!! also where do we do the next vote?????
I think we vote on the same post from yesterday, because I didn’t see a new one for today. I’d try voting on the same post from yesterday to see if it works.
Dear podkinz this is my first year on webkinz I started in March so far my whole family loves it . My favorite PSF is the key lime Dino its food seems so real ! My fav psi is the bubble gum cheeky cat when my pet jumps in the pool it really is like they are playing peekaboo ;) podkinz rocks but you rule
My favorite event was the #OneWebkinzWorld my fav pet was the snow soft kitty it was so soft . I wish in 2015 that they will make a rockerz octopus that kinda looks like a bull !!
A rockerz octupus? That a little wild.
@9tailedfox I really want them to release an octopus too!

Nice Podkinz, Gennelle Webkinz AND Mike Webkinz!!! Might be my Podkinz favorite yet!
Hi! I love Webkinz World! This is my reply to the “What’s Next” section: Hi! There’s been a lot of Webkinz World events during 2014 that I have adored. For example, #OneWebkinzWorld was my absolute favorite. It was so fun, and I LOVED the prizes! Also, the release of the Webkinz Mobile App really made me smile, since it meant that I could travel with my Webkinz. Another event(s) that I loved were the monthly collections, the Floaty-Clickys, the Peek-A-Newz challenges, and the room theme votes, and I look forward to doing more of those in 2015. Now, my FAVORITE pet that was released in 2014 was the Flutter Pig. It’s SO cute! Although I haven’t been able to grab one yet, I just love them! A pet that I really enjoyed getting during 2014, even though it hadn’t been released in 2014, was my Silverback Gorilla, Modomo. I also liked getting my Spooky Amazin’ Hamster, Hammy, my Gobbler Turkey, Gary, and my Rooster, Rusty. Next, I really enjoyed making new friends on Webkinz during 2014, as well as discovering the Webkinz Trading Forums. Through the forums, I made a few wonderful friends, one of which sent me at least 3 of my dream items, which also happen to be items that I fell in love with this year. The items are: the Thanksgiving Platter, the Pumpkin Pie Platter, the Summer Fun Picnic Basket, and more. In 2015, I really look forward more new pets, items, room themes, events, and more. I’d really love it if a Webkinz Octopus was released, and if more decorative foods were released. Thank you so much for reading! Love, JIUG2013 on Webkinz.
dear podkinz , I have been on webkinz since March first I thought cool because we dont have pets. My favorite pet was the Doodle Fadoodle I loved that pet because she had doodles all around her body and when my school work was done I’d love to doodle or make comics !!!!!! My favorite event was the #OneWebkinzWorld it was so fun!!!! I’m so glad I was around for that event !!!!! In 2015 I cant wait to see what ganz have in store for us !!!!!! That was an awesome podkinz thx -my9tail
Dear Podkinz, One of my favorite things about 2014 was #OneWebkinzWorld Though I didn’t have a Ganz World account back then I would be checking everyday on the map to see if the community had unlocked something new! That is one event I will never forget! My favorite pet was the Whoo La La Owl, it was the first webkinz plush I got in a long time! One of the prizes I really liked this year was the Baby Penguin Plush for the Penguins of Madagascar promotion. Though I wasn’t Canadian a very good friend sent one to me, which made me really excited since it was so cute! Also a very good friend sent me the Glittering Evening Gown which is one of the things I wanted most out of every item in webkinz! This year for me on webkinz has been amazing. I really started to be completely loyal to webkinz this year since this is when I got my Ganz World account, and I’ve actually stayed on webkinz for over a year which is something I’ve never done on an another website before! I hope there are collections next year, new plush pets, and new prizes! Thank you Ganz for a wonderful year of webkinz!
Hi Ganz I sent you a letter……. did you get it yet?:)
Did you get mine???????
I just realized something, how come it says episode 30 when its episode 29? Eh, must be another glitch.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING MY COMMENT!!!!! It’s the first time that ever happened!!! During the last Podkinz episode, I just decided to comment on my Sig. Bengal Tiger’s PSI (which I thought was a really cool special item) and I never would’ve guessed you would’ve read it! Thank you so much!!!! ;D
Also, the plans for the December sound pretty cool! I can’t wait for the new Christmas theme and all the Christmas activities being scheduled! This year, there has been so many great things going on in Webkinz! We had the design contest, the Easter egg hunt, One Webkinz World and so much more! There’s also been a lot of cute pets released this year, too! I can’t decide what’s been my favorite thing about 2014 since there’s been so many great things! For next year, I really would like Webkinz to be the place it has always been, a fun place for everyone to enjoy and a place that’s fun! Although, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few new cute pets being released! ;)
Congratulations TaffyKitty12!:) #It’sAllGood

I would have to say, my favorite pet from 2014 would be the Flutter Pig. I deeply LOVE the Flutter Pig! Kindly, My favorite Sunday-School Teacher actually bought me one from the GanzEstore! I love how huggable this pet is. I decided to name her Flo, Flo the Flutter Pig. :-)
Dear Podkinz, I think my most favorite event this year is, or WILL be all of the Christmas events! I always look forward to seeing Santakinz, getting cool prizes, checking out the holiday items in the wshop, and….. Well….. I pretty much like everything! And as for 2015, I have 2 things in mind. First off, I think if Daisy doesn’t win (which I hope she doesn’t) I hope that she can at least open up her own restaurant. And second, I know there’s a 75% chance this might not happen, but I pray that they can bring back kinzchat plus, in the clubhouse, because I go to the kinzville park everyday on kinzchat plus, and I’ve seen a lot of people saying “I wish they didn’t get rid of kinzchat plus in the clubhouse”. Everyone there is kind of sad about it, and I’ll admit I’m a little too (I still like the park better). #JoinTheAdventure
Me too I love the park but sad that they will get rid of the kinz chat plus in the park but, it’s smart to do that and why you ask some kids say bad words and trick other kids by saying I will give you g coins for that so there are good reasons
wait when are they getting rid of kinzchat plus and will it be gone in the clubhouse?!?!?!
Yup sorry I meant clubhouse not park lol XD
Don’t believe everything you hear kids saying. I talk to Ganz a lot and it is often about KC+ and I don’t think it will be going anywhere soon, though some changes may be made to it.
I can’t wait for 2015! It’s going to be Webkinz TENTH Anniversary! I hear there planning big things, that’s what i’am really, rally exited about! Can’t wait! :D
Hi Podkinz, I listen to podkinz quite often and am dowloading it on my phone. Back to the question, my favorite pet from this year is the Lovely Love Kitten. I have always wanted a Valentine’s Day Webkinz and I finally got this kitten for Valentine’s Day as a gift. The plush is adorable and detailed very well. Also I love the PSI that it comes with(sweetheart couch). The event that I liked most this year was the berry festival, which was super fun and helped me earn more berries for my collection! Thanks podkinz, and HAPPY DECEMBER!!! From, ParisLover P.S. Dear Micheal I loved your “Let’s Build” Jumbleberry Fields episode, I made one of my own!
If you really like the berry festival, there’s a Goo Goo berry ball pit out there that your pet can play around in.
OMG UGLY SWEATERS!!!!!!!!!
no i love the sweater
oh and my favorite psi is the snowflake puppy psi because it is a snowglobe chair and when you sit inside it, it snows so cool!
Oh cool, literally! Is the pet Retired? Id love to have that PSI!
@jkj1004, You’re right! It is Webkinz 10th anniversary! I hadn’t even realized that! I’ve been on Webkinz for 7 years. I hope they do something cool for their 10th anniversary!
I actually have a question: Why was Crafty Critterz taken down? I loved that additional website so much! And it disappeared sometime in June. Will Ganz ever bring it back? I really hope so!
