The biggest issue. The modmakers need to protect themselves from legal action (Which would result in the mod being taken down, therefore, in everyone's best interests.), which is why the audio files used for pixelmon saying their names are obviously not lifted right from the show. Battlecries are no different - they need to be original. They can be 'suspiciously similar' to the ones used in the actual games, but they cannot use the existing assets or be created by modifying the existing assets (At least, if they are to be supported by the mod in any official capacity). So this suggestion would be contingent on the community generating the assets themselves.
Personally, I like both, and see no reason why they can't work together perfectly. Battlecries could be added to the audio clips each pokemon can say alongside their existing ones as they're created. Sometimes your pokemon will say it's species name, sometime it will let out a roar, and fans of both are happy.
