It is actually sort of interesting, in a way, because what GX is is basically a vast hideous "canon" High School AU of Yu-Gi-Oh! taken to its logical extreme. It's initially a sort of wacky wish fulfillment for all the young kids at the time it was airing, a sort of WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO STUDY THIS GAME THAT I LOVE ALL THE TIME AND HAVE FUN FOR SCHOOL INSTEAD OF LEARNING MATH AND THINGS I AM UNINTERESTED IN?

And then after a half-season's worth of that, the show takes it and gradually begins to answer the question: NO. NO, IT WOULD NOT BE COOL. IT WOULD IN FACT BE THE AWFULEST THING EVER. FOR REAL.
