#theoretically the piplup moon poisons could still be her sister's by being part of rowan's pkmn that plat looks after

i dont think there was a definite time period for platinum arc bc everything moved so fast so. can we jus say 2 wks?? that puts the entire saga at pushing 3 months which is half the time sun and moon spent trapped in ultra space

#i am not tagging but i am gonna ramble #i still think... its plausible for moon to be older #given her poison mastery and recklessness and maturity level its possible that #if she was the berlitz heir at one point #then that title was given to platinum instead who was more levelheaded and studious #moon going off to alola to gather antidote ingredients could be as much about proving herself as it is abt curing piplup #not as like a vye for power/'i want my position back' but as showing she can still live up to the berlitz name #the only roadblock is rotom #since rotom's research came abt in the pt arc and wasnt known until then #it wouldnt make sense for moon to be taking one to alola before that point in the story #but like/////// ignoring that briefly #her dad and platinum work under rowan #yanase was in another region for a long time #theoretically the piplup moon poisons could still be her sister's by being part of rowan's pkmn that plat looks after #maybe lets say moon was never the heir or discard the heir thing since yanase mentions #'its family tradition to do this' w/o bringing up succession also since she says she did when she was younger #that means mr. berlitz married in and may possibly explain some of his misgivings on letting plat go alone #anyway!!!! moon leaves sumo plot happens 6mo entrapment in ultra space starts #plat is now the only berlitz daughter w/o any way of knowing if moon is alive #entire dppt saga happens in 3mo time #looker fucks off to unova to investigate the sages (im assuming post-bw?????) #but before that he and anabel spend time in alola gathering info on various ubs #yanase is the go-to between looker and plat so in theory she comes across him while trying to learn more abt the distortion world #since looker knows the existence of other dimensions the theoretically there might could exist an 'other side of the world' too #or at the very least p&u could have been teleported into ultraspace so why not approach someone who knows of it #another 3mo passes and moon returns from ultraspace #thats plenty of time for ppl in sinnoh to do their own research on the matter w their newfound knowledge gained in the pt arc #moon comes home cures piplup and in 4mo decides to move to alola #aaaaaa this is long + tag limit but basically i......still think its plausible for moon to be older #and for dppt to take place between sumo and usum (while keeping sumo after xy/oras)
