Why are Fire-types and Electric-types different? They both cause damage in the same way - by burning.

You could say the same about why psych and ghost type are separate if both use mind energy or sheit like that.

Firstly, it's ELECTRIC-TYPE not LIGHTNING-TYPE. Secondly, it is related to fire. If a lightning bolt strikes you, you will suffer 3rd degree burns all over your body. If it strikes a tree, the tree will catch alight. Whatever it is striking is being burned.

Because fire, specifically the flames, are made of gas which is combusting and hot enough for the electrons in its atoms and molecules to jump orbitals and emit photons, which are the light you see in the flame. Electricity is, basically, the flow of electrons.
