The phrases 'it's good' and 'it's pretty good' are often utilized in contemporary English. While particular meanings will vary from individual to individual, the general truth is that 'it's good' implies something better than what is referred to as 'pretty good.' The reason is that the qualifier 'pretty' is similar to 'partly' or 'nearly'; thus, it implies a less-than-fully-good status for the thing being described.
