This site talks about the dangers of role-playing games like Pokemon and Magic.
According to this, role-playing blurs the line between fantasy and reality. I guess that's true. It's been a few years since my kids wanted Pokemon cards but there are still many nights at bedtime that I wish I had a Jigglypuff. (For those of you who may be unfamiliar with that Pokemon, its song puts everyone to sleep instantly.)

Whoever wrote that page is seriously unclear on the concept. Ash and Pikachu are no more harbingers of the occult than Bugs Bunny or Goku are. It's all harmless fantasy, something children have been engaging in for as long sa there's been children.
