I think you mean 'Elephants' - as far as I'm aware there are no rhinos in India, but apart from that, it's a great theory; geographical seperation is one of the strongest factors behind speciation, as the species has to adapt in different ways to the two different environments. And DrackTheHunter above me has offered some very convincing explanations as to why the Raths have the differences they have in the Moga area. There's just one problem, as far as I can see; if the Raths (and Aptonoth, and Diablos, and Plesioth) appear different (and fight differently) because it's a completely different area, Capcom have really messed up by not visually revamping Narga and Tigrex for the 3rd Gen areas.
