Bah, we have quite a few older members around this community. You should feel out of place at all, my friend.
(I'm only two years younger than you. ;D)
Pokemon is a hobby that can be enjoyed and experienced at all levels of maturity. Little children like the sythetic violance and flashing colors while us older people tend to like the strategy and storyline. It all works out to one fanbase in the end.
I'm sure you will have a wonderous time at the Pokecommunity, KammenosHMMY.
Welcome and take care.
