As revealed by Shudo, Lugia was commissioned for the movie, and he was quite surprised to find out that it was later included in the games. Lugia was solely designed by Takeshi Shudo, who at the time was the head writer for the Pokémon anime, as well as the scriptwriter for The Power of One, the second Pokémon movie, which was released in July of 1999.

The anime's model sheet using the design with green skin was shown in a mid-April 1999 release of CoroCoro Comic, and a few issues later merchandise depicting Bellossom's final green-skinned design is shown, implying that the color change probably happened soon after the artwork was finalized. Regarding in-game sprites, the color change seems to have happened somewhere after mid-June of 1999, as by the time the Space World '99 demo was compiled the sprite with blue skin and red flowers/petals had already been repurposed as Bellossom's shiny sprite. While preceding the controversy regarding Jynx's skin color, the design team possibly decided to change Bellossom's in fear it'd be seen as questionable given its Polynesian influences, though this color change could have also been made because the design team wasn't satisfied with how it looked. Given how the earlier version of Bellossom found in the Space World '97 proto even shares this trait, this seems to prove that this was the original intent before it was ultimately changed.
