The thing with rock is that it's sort of the bug type. Only that rock is good on paper, but fails somewhat in practise.
Maybe I'm just harking back to the days where the Rock Gym is just laughably easy to defeat, as it is often the first gym. Seriously, there's a trend here:
Gen I: Brock, first gym
Gen III: Roxanne, first gym
Gen IV: Roark, first gym
All, very, easy. You could argue if you went with Charmander in Generation I, it is a slight challenge, but still, it's the FIRST gym.
