This brief review summarises what we know observationally about the pulsed emission of pulsars across the electromagnetic spectrum. I describe the wide range of timescales observed in the properties of pulsed emission which cover about 18 orders of magnitude. Future advances in observations capabilities, most notably at gamma-ray and radio frequencies, are expected to significantly enhance our understanding of pulsars and their emission, as a large fraction of our discovery phase space is still unexplored. The first glimpse of the plethora of unknown phenomena yet to be found was given recently by the discovery of new classes of neutron stars such as Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) and Intermittent Pulsars. We discuss these discoveries and demonstrate how they provide useful information for our understanding of pulsed emission in general.
