Why are ground and rock separate types in Pokemon? Why not just combine them into one type?

Thanks for remind me that there are only 2 fully evolved ground/rock pokémon. We need more.

Because Tajiri is a literal autist and didn't know any better. After that the couldn't be bothered to merge rock into Ground.

How could this affect the type chart?

Larvitar and Pupitar should've been Rock/Dark or pure Rock. Giving them Ground just so they can lose it is dumb.

People will say that not all ground-types are rocks but Pokemon treats all the other types pretty broadly. See Exeggutor being Grass-type even though it's a tree. The real reason is because Gen 1 was essentially a borderline indie ksuoge that the franchise is still loyal to today.

You must be intentionally being retarded, grass is a catch all term for plant.

If ground and rock were merged to one type...

DEFENSIVE
Weak to: fighting, grass, ice, water, ground, steel
Resistant to: fire, flying, normal, poison, rock

OFFENSIVE
Super-effective against: electric, fire, flying, ice, poison, rock
Not-very-effective against: fighting, ground, grass

I think that's everything, if you overlap their current type chart mechanics and pretend they are now a single type.

because elegant design has never been a strength of GF's

we have two entirely different systems for measuring how happy a trainer's pokemon is

Honestly just use Ground's match ups. Rock is a shit typing and a kiss of death for many mons because of its many weaknesses

Quoted By:

Ground is channeling and using the earth itself, as a while. It's all about the composite structure of the ground and it's total power.
Rock is more precise, it's the separate minerals and pieces within the earth. Covers more shit like gems and fossils. Shit within the Earth that can be isolated.

Because if they were a single type, they'd be completely and utterly fucked by anything Flying-type.

It's like the Ice, it's basically Water but harder...I guess it's the same with Rock, it's Ground...but harder

Amen brother. Would be nice if we could have a little more diversity in options. Golem and Rhyperior are incredibly similar as is.
>>41513224
Because Rock/Ground is an awesome offensive typing?

Yikes no thanks. Not even ice has that many weaknesses.

Since many anons have already generally explain their difference I think also think matchup wise, it's good to have them seperate. Ground can't hit flying and ice while Rock can.

Not gonna lie, but that sounds great. Just have Ground absorb Rock. Literally make it so all Rock types are ground. They share stupidly similar themes.

I’d also go so far as to consolidate Dark and Ghost (so all Ghost types are now Dark types). Again, stupidly similar.

Many people will say Water and Ice, but having Blizzard be a Water move just sounds wrong.

Besides that, rework Ice to fill in the niches left behind by all this consolidating and you get a better game imo.
