Um Yes, yes there is. Red and blue aren't the best pokemon games, quite frankly I'm happy to see so many pokemon games in the top 50. I'd rather a mystery dungeon game (time/darkness/sky) be there instead of platinum and gen 4, but the others definitely deserve it. Especially GSC, easily the best Pokemon games, easily.

Hence why I said Red/Blue and one of the modern ones. Red/Blue because they were the first, the innovators, and the basis for all of the subsequent entries, and therefore I'd argue the best for their time. And one of the modern entries - whichever is generally considered 'the best' at the time of voting.

If you think 12% of the absolute best games of all time are Pokemon games then at least you're guaranteed a new top 50 game every other year or so, so there's that.

This is why I try to keep my list down to one entry per franchise, except in extreme cases. IMO Handheld Zelda, N64/GC Zelda, and Switch Zelda are too different to lump into a single franchise for listing purposes.
