Not a bug [Indev 0.51.1] Hidden Grotto on Route 31 easily manipulated

Magi

Pokémon Ranger
(I'm new here, this probably applies to all the grottos, but I've only been able to test it on Route 31)
Upon entering the grotto and quitting the game without saving and then re-entering the grotto, I got a Potion the first time and a Metal Coat the next. I've since reproduced this on two or three separate "grotto refills" without fail. I'm not sure if this is considered a "bug", but it's very easy to take advantage of the grotto if you have the patience for it and get whatever you want out of it (within the parameters given for said grotto) with ease. I haven't taken any screenshots or videos as of yet, but I don't think they'll be necessary. This is all pretty self-explanatory.

What I expected to happen:
Standard probability system.

What actually happened:
Able to cheat the system.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Allow enough time for grotto to replenish.
2. Save game before entering grotto.
3. Enter grotto. Take note of what's inside.
4. Quit game without saving.
5. Start game and enter grotto again.
6. See something else.
7. Repeat to cheat the system.

Note:
Does not work if you enter the grotto and then save. Whatever appeared there before you saved will still be there.

I am okay with this "exploit"
Soft Resetting is method that can be used in the main games and this is just an extension of that
