Ajawalcan is here! Also, Inoshika buffs.

This adds Ajawalcan's new name, using Mayan grammar and vocabulary resources to produce something truly befitting of the Kukulcan Pokemon. Before, we conflated Aztec and Mayan theology and have now chosen to squarely focus on the Mayan side of things, with Ruddy Ruins scheduled to be based on Chichen Itza.

When naming Ajawalcan, we used academic sources compiling the grammar and vocabulary of Yucatan Mayan and Classical Mayan, aiming to represent indiginous Latin American cultures the best we could. The name literally translates to "Kingly serpent" or "Lordly serpent", where "Ajaw" was the name for a king or ruler, and "can" is the spelling for "serpent" used in Kukulcan, the deity worshipped by Mayans of the day.
