Religion in the Japanese Pokémon?

[GymLeaderMisty]

Is the Christian Cross depicted in the Japanese Pokémon anime? this wikipedia article says that there is:

For example, representations of the Christian cross were airbrushed out of Pokémon and One Piece, while references to Hell were replaced with "HFIL (Home For Infinite Losers)" in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. Alleged demonic imagery is also commonly removed or toned down, as are uses of pentagrams, because of their religious meanings and their apparent association with Satanism and Paganism.

So what Japanese episodes have a cross in it? All I know is that Misty pulled out a cross in response to that Gastly in the "Ghost of Maiden's Peak".

Don't actually remember seeing religious symbols in the anime, quite frankly.

I don't think there have been other crosses in Japanese (although 4Kids did edit a lot) but there are references to religion in the Japanese version. I think Dogasu said in a DP episode James said a place looked like hell but was changed in the dub to say something else.

Um...I dunno if this was intentional but...in The Rise of Darkrai, there were some shelves depicted in the movie (I know they are shown in the movie before the flashback with Alice falling from the cliff and being saved by Darkrai).
IMO, the designs of the shelves seemed to mimic "The Number of the Beast". I don't know if that was an oversight or unintentional, but it struck me as odd...
Still, I REALLY hope it was unintentional!! Just wondering...

There was also an episode in the Johto saga where Smeargle was painting a church near the end of the episode. Never specified any religion or other references other then that. I beleived that's how it happened. It's been a while since I've seen that though. XD
