Well I'm no where near as old as you, but that's cool with older members, or older Pokemon fans. I'm pretty sure you'll get around here just fine since you're an older member. I've always thought that either this forum is an older Pokemon Community, or just seem more mature for their age. I know it's a children's game, but why can't older people enjoy it?
Welcome to the community, my good old sir. :) Make sure you take a good read of the rules, and ask any questions if you ever need the help. Maybe shoot me a VM sometime and we could talk?
Alternative, out!
