I like Waterfall more.

Oh, yeah, you're right. Still, I like Waterfall more, unless you're fighting under heavy gravity or against a No Guard Machamp (in which case the accuracy becomes a moot point).

No guard gives all of Machamp's moves 100% accuracy. It doesn't make every move hit it.

It makes every move used either by Machamp or aimed at Machamp hit 100% of the time.

Now it's been a while since I've played a pokemon game so I could be wrong, but I believe there is one more difference. Aqua Tail is a physical move, while waterfall is a special move. Which would mean Aqua Tail is better for pokemon with high attack (which Gyarados has) and Waterfall would be best for Pokemon with high special attack (which Gyarados does not have).

In response to Firemaster:

Waterfall was changed to a physical move in the 4th generation to differentiate it from its HM counterpart Surf. If I'm recalling the description correctly, Waterfall is actually a charging attack.

Aqua Tail was given to some other Pokemon (AKA those with tails) for added coverage.

Yeah, I know that there are some really weird instances of Pokemon learning Aqua Tail. Aggron and Dratini/Dragonair can both learn it I think.

Guys. All the trades that have been offered me I can now finish. Tell me when ready to trade.

I feel cool being able to be the first to say this.

The new starter Pokemon- full pictures, not silhouettes- have been revealed. The news is all over the internet, so go to your local games site and check it out!

Only the grass starter looks interesting this time, though- the other two are below average. /shrug I'll let you all decide for yourselves, though.

From left to right, Tsutaja, grass, Pokabu, fire, Mijumara, water. The water-type is apparently an otterish animal, fire is a pig, grass is a gecko/raptor. The water one is my favorite.

It would have been nice to link an image

Didn't see that. O.K, the pig is now my favorite. Unless the otter evolves into some amazing looking sea otter.

Meh, I'm terrible with links on this website. The posting doesn't work half the time O.o

But for your quick reading convinience...

A Gamesradar article detailing the information found in the magzine. http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml also has the news on its front page. Uh, the images are there... though, you know, they're already here.

All the articles I've been seeing basically have all the same information. The new moves and abilities sound pretty interesting- neither of them sound too powerful, and only Trickery feels like a new idea- Claw Sharpen is just another stat-boosting move. It's nice to finally know more about Zoroark for once as well, though, like all the articles are saying, we don't really know how this "Illusion" is any different than having an upgraded Ditto.
