While stat inflation will probably happen, it will be way slower than you think. What you'll more likely see is "consistency creep". There will just be more card draw in general, less random search than pokeball, fewer coin flip effects in general. Basically you'll see a card that says "shuffle a pokemon from your hand to your deck then search for a new one" which will technically still have a cost but just be better because it's more consistent. or you'll see "discard a card to attach an energy to xyz" which will be better because it's more consistent.
That being said while you'll all stomp and cry and whine about this it will make the game way the fuck better. You just aren't knowers yet. This game will be way the fuck more fun to play a year from now.
