It's for smaller kids who don't get their news anywhere else. They'll air a repeat of a much older episode, nothing really amazing happens. The notable stuff is the rare times they have an entirely new episode of the anime (traditionally not focusing on Ash) or reveal game information, though both of these haven't happened in quite some time. B2W2 were revealed this way. We got our first footage of games like HGSS and BW like this. The majority of episodes from Pokémon Chronicles originally aired here. But ever since games got simultaneous international releases, they've been effectively pointless.
The 1000th episode was the Kukui wedding episode if I remember correctly.
