User blog:Green Ninja/The Future of Puffles (and the Past)

Since everyone is waiting for the seven year rumor that is finally coming true (Rainbow Puffle), I thought it was the appropriate time for a puffle-themed blog! It makes sense, because the Puffle Party 2012 has been going on for a whole day (atleast on the United States East Coast at the time of posting this). What this blog is mainly about, however, are the changes that puffles have gone through since March 2006, and what to expect in the future. Wow, is the Puffle Party a puffle anniversary? It used to be in February! I guess Club Penguin finally realized last year that March 2006 was when puffle adoptions began in the Pet Shop for the very first time. And my, have our funny fuzzy friends with two eyes and a smile (quoting Stompin' Bob) come along since then! Since then, there have been ten species of the furry puffballs introduced, with the newest addition just around the corner: the long-awaited Rainbow Puffle!

Around 2006-2008, puffles didn't really have much going for them. Sure, they were present all around the island, and many penguins owned them, but they never were really heavily focused on in te Club Penguin world. The puffle player cards were pretty bland, as well, with only health bars and almost no interaction with your puffle aside from walking it and playing with it.

It wasn't until February 2009 when Club Penguin went puffle-crazy. A whole party was released that month dedicated to those beloved pets. This party made White Puffles join in on the fun! This was the first major puffle discovery since 2007's red puffles out of the four we have seen so far since 2009. The Orange Puffle made its grand debut in February 2010. 2011 was the most major update for puffles in Club Penguin history so far. Not only did the Pet Shop get a much-needed renovation, but the puffle player cards changed completely to a brand new interface, in which interaction with your puffle was unlike anything seen before. This new interface still exists today: just click on your puffle (if you own one, who doesn't?) in your igloo. Two puffle-themed games also released, being Puffle Launch and Pufflescape. 2012 had no major puffle discoveries or updates, but there was a Puffle Party, like all years since 2009. It allowed you to transform into any of your puffles. Now we are up to present day. 2013 had the most major (and the newest) puffle update since 2011. And it occured just yesterday! A three-room puffle building, the Puffle Hotel, allows you to pamper your puffle without spending any extra coins. Not only that, but the most highly anticipated puffle in Club Penguin history, the Rainbow Puffle, will make make its first appearance once we complete our tasks.

But the real question is, however, what is in store for puffles for the rest of 2013 and beyond? What new puffle species or puffle-themed games/rooms/features do you expect in the forseeable future? Whatever the future holds, it should be amazing. Go puffles, go!
