Choose Event Sprite's Nature Before Buying It!

Suggestion Title:
Choose Event Sprite's Nature Before Buying It!
Suggestion Summary:
Let people choose their custom event sprite's nature before buying them similarly to when buying from Cele's shop.
Positive points:
1) Users don't have to worry about running out of time getting their favorite nature (before the event ends; the event is only five days, nine less than a trade thread can last which is an important note for people trying to trade for their favorite nature).
2) People go way over budget (with money that they may not have) trying to get the sprite's nature that they may not even get this year.
3) There are a lot of the same threads for people wanting a specific custom sprite's natures, letting people choose what nature they get before buying it may reduce the amount of threads appearing all at once.
4) There's no guarantee for getting said nature since not everybody can afford a custom sprite
before the event ends, (meaning that that specific nature may not exist or people won't want to trade the few that do). Letting people choose may promote threads that can help people get exactly what they want vs whatever is available for trade at that moment.
5) You pay the same amount of money for Cele's birthday sprites as the once in a year event sprites (which you can choose a nature for).
6) People are still going to buy/sell extra custom sprites on the trades forum for in game currency for people who can't pay real money, people may even make a thread letting people who can't pay with zc choose their nature before buying it for them.
7) Letting people choose their nature may even encourage people who don't want to bother trying to get only a specific nature to spend money buying a custom sprite (I know I was one of those people).
Negative points:
1) Allowing people to choose their custom sprite's nature may result in less spent zc because people don't have to buy multiple of the same pokémon trying to get their preferred nature.
Reason For Consideration:
You pay real money for a once in a year event that you have to wait a year for before potentially trying to get said nature again, while usually going over your budget (which gets really pricy thanks to currency rates if you're not using pounds). Why not have the option available like with Cele's shop for a rare custom sprite (that might not show up in Cele's shop for another year)?
Example of what I mean
I bought all of these sprites in a row with zc I bought with my own money and and only just got a gentle Sylventine a year later by trading with other users. (Please ignore their names.)

good idea, i like it, but it would be unfair for the people that got that sprite in the past years
half support leaning to support. it would be convenient but cele would earn less commisions, i'm sure shes not rly greedy for zophan cannisters tho so....eh???
"Riddle me this, what makes the world go round? Why that's right, IT'S LOVE! Well, that and inertia along with the north and south poles, we don't talk about that tho."
I give me full support on something like this yes in a way this would be unfair to those who bought them the year before, but at the same time it would also be fair to those who have the ZC that would like to buy one or more and be able to pick their favorite natures.
this is just my opinion and what i think with how things are now in a way also it's also unfair to those who spend the ZC for one and not get the natures they want, and even with trade there is a small chance of that happening to.
Credits go to heysoup for the cute Noibat icon they drew.
