Speaking on Gen 1, I was always annoyed how almost every Rock type was also Ground and most Grass types were also Poison. It makes some sense how they might share traits, but still.

I think of it like Rock is hard mineral shit, Ground is softer, soil type.
If you look at Gen 1 primary Ground mons, they're all stuff that live in the ground (or could burrow); Sandshrew, Cubone, Diglet.
If you look at primary Rock types, they're made of Rock, it's part of their being.
Idk how I'd describe it beyond that but I do think they feel different. If they had been combined I wouldn't really have much of an issue with it though.

My muscle memory is still fucked up because of Gen 1. I almost always reach for Ice moves on Rock types and Psychic moves on Grass types.

Because they're different things. Rock is gems, regular rocks and fossils (which is stupid but still a notable trait), Ground is earth, mud, dirt, sand. Hard vs soft if you will. It's not hard to understand once you actually think about it for a second.

this.

I also think ground/rock types derive their rock-type from the fact they have a hard as fuck shell probably made of minerals.

Some typings weren't made to exist independently. There's no pure rock types in gen 1, it's always mixed with either ground (3 lines) water (2 lines) or flying (1 line). It's kinda like specific type combos were kinda like their own type
>Grass/poison represents any plant that utilizes poison in some way
>Big rock monsters are Rock/Ground
>Normal/Flying represents standard bird pokemon
>Bugs pretty much always either fly or are poisonous.
Etc. It's representative of how animals in real life often settle into a handful of specific sorts of niches. They sorta dropped it after gen 1 tho completely dropped it after gen 4, now they actively try to make new type match ups more than anything.

Rock is like an extension of the ground typing, like how ice is an extension of the water type. They're kinda made as type modifiers like the rock type is given to ground types that have hard rock like skin, and it serves to recreate the ways that would change how attacks effect you. Similar thing can be said of the flying type, it's like "Ok, some pokemon can fly, and that would effect how attacks affect them, so let's give all flying mons the new "flying" type.

All of them save gourgeist which spoils a literal perfect design in pumpkaboo are great in terms of their design.
They just lack variety in their roles and came clustered together.

Rock/Water. It's one of the most common type combos and that makes absolutely no sense. It's not a typing that can be slapped on any old plant or bird like grass/poison or normal/flying, rock/water only feels appropriate for a specific number of creatures yet is somehow more common than the like of mono steel, dragon/flying, dark/fighting, ect.

It's just how types worked in Gen 1. Ground was "stuff that lived in the ground," flying was "stuff that flew," poison was "stuff with poison." They were applied in the way you might apply abilities like Levitate now
