I'll resummarise the Platinum theory for context and added points but if you've already read the earlier post you can skip to the Moon theory ^-^

Platinum Theory

Ok so in RS it shows that at the time of Rayquaza’s escape Yanase was working on the PKMN Association’s project of trying to develop an orb to control rayquaza. This is where Norman and Yanase first meet when Norman and Birch show up to help the survivors of Rayquaza’s escape.

This incident took place 5 years before the events of the RS chapter/9 years before ORAS meaning Platinum was born roughly a year later.

In the Emerald Arc during Emerald’s flashback, Yanase mentions that someone with a more suitable method will have to stop Kyorge and Groudon fighting possibly hinting that she already knows of Norman’s plan to ride Rayquaza himself. (unrelated, but she also mentions the power of science being useless to control rayquaza which is a main plot point in ORAS...I love when Pokespe hints at future arcs 10 years before their release :’ ) )

Also according to Norman in ORAS he continued to work with Yanase to find Rayquaza and work out how to use it to stop Groudon and Kyorge. Besides Yanase’s appearance in Platinum all of her and Norman’s appearances have them mention or hint at the other.

As for Platinum’s personality and appearance she has similar hair and eye shape to Ruby, Platinum also has a problem with expressing her true feelings, her pride and concerns with how others percieve her. All traits that are similar to Ruby and Norman.

Genetically speaking it’s not possible or very rare for a blonde haired Yanase and a light-brown haired Sir Berlitz to have a daughter with dark black hair so the theory of Platinum not being Sir’s daughter is a common one.

Moon Theory

In ORAS Norman mentions that he met up with Yanase during the arc to gain permission to enter her research storage room and received the key, the key. This is the guy that will break down doors and force his way to important documents just to get the information he needs without a care for others. Even if not an affair thing he obviosly respects her a lot. He even broke down another door (belonging to the pkmn association, not her) this same chapter so it’s not a character development thing either. Note that he also mentions her by her first name rather than her title.

Due to the unspecified amount of time between BW2 it is possible for Moon to have been born shortly after ORAS as long as it falls in the typical 2-3 years range.

As for Moon’s personality, she’s as refined and intellegent as any other Berlitz but she’s also reckless and will charge without thought to save others. A similar trait to Ruby which got him in trouble with Salamence and reccurs through RS and ORAS. From what we see of Sir Berlitz and Yanase, reckless isn’t a trait I’d use to describe them but Norman however has recklessness in spades.

Same reason as Platinum, Moon’s dark hair colour makes it unlikely that Sir Berlitz is her father. This also explains why he only mentions Platinum as his daughter in DP if Moon is either a “secret child” of Yanase, which is common in rich families where an illegitimate child would be sent off to be raised elsewhere or if Sir Berlitz knew about Yanase’s affair leading to Moon but not with Platinum.
