All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars".
However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)

Why may there be more pulsars then we observe?
A "pulsar" is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The pulses are pulses of X-rays or gamma rays that are radiated continuously, but which are only detectable when the beam is pointed at the Earth.It seems likely that there are a great number of rotating neutron stars that do not happen to point at the Earth. They would not, therefore, be detectable.
Which stars do not have nuclear fusion occurring in their core?
All stars "burn" by the process of nuclear fusion. When fusion has been completed, the star dies. That can occur in several different ways and the interested party could look into the topic of stellar evolution. Neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs are examples of end stages of stellar evolution. Some stars never really reach the stage of fusion and such large objects are called brown dwarfs. If Jupiter were not a planet, it might be deemed a brown dwarf.
Do all stars that become supernovae leave behind a neutron star?
No. The most massive stars will leave behind a black hole.
What is another name for a black hole neutron star or a white dwarf?
Try Collapsar' derived from "Collapsed Star"Also black holes are often referred to as singularities.neutron stars are also known as pulsars, magnetars, and hyperneutron stars depending on it's characteristics
Do all supernova remnants contain pulsars?
No. Some supernova remnants contain black holes.
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes. All pulsars and neutron stars are the remnants of a supernova explosion.
Are pulsars a kind of neutron star?
Pulsars are not only a kind of neutron star, they are neutron stars. See related question.
What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?
All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.
Why are pulsars hot?
Pulsars and neutron stars are hot because of all the residual heat left over in the core of the original star.
Where do pulsars originate from?
The collapse of massive stars - the same as neutron stars.
Why are you studying pulsars?
Because I am interested in neutron stars.
Flickering neutron stars formed in supernovas?
pulsars
Are all neutron stars also pulsars?
Evidence suggests that all Neutron stars are pulsars or were once pulsars. In theoretical physics; the existence of objects like quark stars, preon stars, or electroweak stars is called into question. These are usually used to explain radio quiet neutron stars; however, far more likely these objects simply do not pulse at any rate in our relative direction.
Where are pulsars located in space?
Pulsars are located every where around the universe keep in mind pulsars are neutron stars so that means they were formed by large stars that have aged and died out
How are pulsars formed?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic energy. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses and goes supernova leaving behind a neutron star which will begin rotating and releasing energy.
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?
Gamma rays
How are neutron stars related to pulsars?
A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star that releases regular pulses of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic field
