Pocomania (or voodoo Jamaica) have nothing to do with poke'mon? Small Japanese monsters (demons)?

orig q by another user in voodoo, the response by the chickay encyclopedia Columbian, extract (?) said 'Similar observances are found Jamaica, under the name Pocomania "so hence my question ...

No. The term "Pokemon" comes not from Japanese folklore, it is a brand invented by combining the English words "Pocket" and "Monster". A demon in Japanese is called an "Oni". "Pocomania" derives from the Spanish "poco" little sense. While the literal meaning of the word is something like "little crazy". However, the term Modern "Pocomania" may be a corruption of an earlier African word that is now forgotten.
