can we have pseudopotentials with atomic basis sets

Hi!

Yes, we do.
We should use ECP and valence basis set in proper combination as described in http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Release64:AvailableBasisSets#Gaussian_basis_sets_with_E...

It is worth noting that in some bases (LANL2DZ) ECPs have not been defined for light elements (H - Ne) and the all-electron basis used instead.
Also it makes sense in some cases to use pseudo-potential for hydrogen with 0 core electrons.
