I can see the comparison, but I think the inspiration from Sailor Moon is simply from the name. As for actually seeing inspiration drawn, I have not watched Sailor Moon; I would have to ask my friend about that.
We can see the parallels of Dawn's Pokémon to herself. Buneary represents Dawn's inner feelings for Ash, while Piplup represents the actual relationship between Dawn and Ash; incredibly close. In this case, we can compare Dawn's PIplup and Buneary to Serena; she may have the crush, but not to the connection.
Another thing to note is Pikachu's reaction to Buneary. Although not faced with it often, Pikachu is very bashful about it, but does not reveal any deeper feelings that he may have to Buneary. This could be seen as a parallel of Ash; he recognizes the feeling, but does not know how to react to it. Maybe he recognizes it in Serena, but she has not hinted enough for Ash to catch her drift.
BTW who doesn't love a good tsundere? Taiga Aisaka, Asuka Langley, Lucy Heartfilia, Kyoko Sakura, I could go on!

need a break from that. I cannot express how much more I appreciate fan-translations of anything now
