https://github.com/pokeclicker/pokeclicker/pull/6161: Make held items more available
The motivation for the PR is laid out in the link, I won't repeat it here. The actual change of the PR is making legendary dungeon chest always contain held items, moving other loot to other tiers. So far I've done this for Johto, Hoenn, and Sevii chests.
The big question I have, that I would like to hear some thoughts on, is whether it makes sense to do this across the entire game. In my head it does make sense. Creating that consistency. That expectation that, with some exceptions like unique mimics, this type of chest will always contain this type of loot. Like with rare chests and shards. On the other hand though, I'm not sure if it's really necessary to do this with dungeons beyond Johto. Johto is where these items really need to become more available, because Johto is supposed to be the region that introduces held items as a mechanic. So please, lay it on me.
#PR #6161, looking for feedback

It makes sense to me to do it to all regions. I typically rush for Sinnoh to unlock Pokerus, and I agree that it's frustrating gameplay to either stop your climb there and grind out Johto, or keep getting that sweet dopamine hit new pokemon by moving on to Unova.

Hm. But doesn't doing this, at all, encourage the exact thing you say you dislike? Making held items more common only makes going down 2 regions and grinding them out even more attractive, no?
